MEMO <br /> To: Terry Maurer <br /> From: John Anderson <br /> Mainstreet Right Turn Lanes >?. Company <br /> at Jackson Street and Parish WAS Howard R.Green Company <br /> Avenue. (Co. Rd. 42) <br /> Proj. No. 813320J <br /> Date: 6-01-04 <br /> I have reviewed the available information and looked at the sites in the field. The following are <br /> my comments on the feasibility of creating a westbound right turn lane on Mainstreet at Jackson <br /> Avenue and an eastbound turn lane on Mainstreet at Parish Avenue. <br /> Mainstreet and Jackson Avenue <br /> 1. The existing curb and pavement is wide enough to accommodate a west bound right <br /> turn lane on Mainstreet without modifications to the curb lines. <br /> 2. Currently, along the north side of Mainstreet, parking is permitted up to the intersection <br /> with Jackson Avenue. If parking were prohibited in the area near Jackson Avenue on <br /> the north side of Mainstreet there would be adequate room for a thru lane west bound <br /> and a right turn lane to north bound Jackson Avenue. <br /> 3. The parking restriction would eliminate approximatel(3 spaces along the north side o1) <br /> Mainstreet. The transition to the turn lane would take place in the area of the driveway <br /> to the parking lot just east of Jackson Avenue and the section of full turn lane width <br /> would allow for approximately 80 feet of stacking leading up to the intersection. <br /> 4. Proper signage for this change would include lane designation marking and possibly no <br /> parking signs. <br /> 5 Pavement marking would include a white stripe indicating the division of the two lanes <br /> and white arrows indicating the proper lane traffic movements. <br /> t5 � Pu The curb and pavement on Jackson Street is wide enough to accommodate two <br /> b )" northbound lanes of traffic if parking is prohibited along the east side. <br /> 6r. ��l 7. No additional Right of Way is required for this modification. <br /> Mainstreet and Parish Avenue <br /> 1. The existing intersection has a median island separating the east and west bound traffic <br /> on the east bound approach. <br /> 2. The business located on the southwest corner of the intersection currently uses the <br /> public right of way area between parish Avenue and the building for offstreet parking. <br /> 3. The concept considered involves creating a pork chop island separating the eastbound <br /> thru traffic on Mainstreet from the eastbound right turns to Parish Avenue. <br /> 4. The creation of the turn lane and island would involve eliminating approximately <br /> oust[ -et narks o oacess)8 offstreet parking spaces and the driveway opening on <br /> Mainstreet closest to the intersection for the business located at the southwest corner of <br /> O:\PROD\813320J\0325\mem060104 Jackson and Parish Right turn lanes.doc <br />
