The purpose of this project is to improve traffic operations at the intersection of SR 236 (LaVista Road) and SR 42 (Briarcliff Road). The project is approximately 2,100 feet along Briarcliff Road (1,025 feet north of the intersection and 1,075 feet south of the intersection - from MP 12.27 to 12.48) and approximately 1,500 feet along LaVista Road (500 feet east of the intersection and 1,000 feet west of the intersection - from MP 1.00 to 1.28). The limits of Briarcliff are: Windcliff Parkway to the north and Lively Ridge Road to the south. The limits of LaVista Road are Vista Valley Drive to the west and the driveway of Mellow Mushroom to them east. The proposed improvements to the intersection are as follows: • SR 236 (LaVista Road) Eastbound Approach: Currently, the approach consists of a designated left-turn lane and a combined through/right-turn lane. The proposed project would retain a left-turn lane and provide two through lanes with one serving as a combined through/right-turn lane. The existing right-of-way (ROW) for this approach is approximately 80 feet. The proposed ROW would vary from approximately 80 feet to 95 feet. • SR 236 (LaVista Road) Westbound Approach: Currently, the approach consists of a designated left-turn lane, a through/right-turn lane. The proposed project would retain a left-turn lane and provide two through lanes with one serving as a combined through/right-turn lane. The existing ROW for this approach varies from approximately 65 feet to 80 feet. The proposed ROW would vary from approximately 70 feet to 105 feet. • SR 42 (Briarcliff Road) Northbound Approach: Currently, the approach consists of a designated left-turn lane, a through lane and a designated right-turn lane. The proposed project would provide two designated left-turn lanes, two through lanes and one designated right-turn lane. The existing ROW for this approach varies from approximately 80 feet to 100 feet. The proposed ROW would vary from approximately 80 feet to 115 feet. • SR 42 (Briarcliff Road) Southbound Approach: Currently, the approach consists of a designated left-turn lane, a through lane and a designated right-turn lane. The proposed project would provide two designated left-turn lanes, two through lanes and one designated right-turn lane. The existing ROW for this approach varies from approximately 75 feet to 85 feet. The proposed ROW would vary from approximately 80 feet to 110 feet.
