Abstract

This project will construct new pedestrian and bicycle facilities by giving Pace Street a classic road diet within its current four·lane transportation structure. New concrete sidewalks would be constructed for Q_4 miles along both sides of the corridor. After reducing the number of lanes from four to three, 5' wide dedicated bicycle lanes would be introduced and the roadway milled, resurfaced and restriped. Other enhancements proposed in this project include raised curbs, landscaped center medians, pedestrian crossings and refuges, pedestrian scale lighting and other street furnishings, ADA~accessible curb ramps, and street trees and shrub plantings. Curb extensions are proposed between Floyd and Stallings in order to define and protect existing parallel parking, and a wide landscape strip is proposed between Stallings and 278 that could be converted to parallel parking as needed by future redevelopment. Bioretention is proposed wherever feasible in order to increase infiltration and reduce runoff volumes feeding directly into Dried Indian Creek.
