Twin Lakes Road (CSAR 13) and Trott Brook Parkway—request to add bypass lane for protecting left <br /> turning vehicles. Staff has reviewed the layout and accident history of the intersection. The layout <br /> currently provides a right turn lane for northbound CSAR 13 traffic turning right on Trott Brook <br /> Parkway. This turn lane was added when Trott Brook Parkway was installed. <br /> In 2008, there was a serious accident at this intersection that involved a motorcycle rear-ending a left <br /> turning vehicle. From a safety perspective,it is not recommended to convert the existing right turn lane <br /> to a combined turn/bypass lane. A safer solution would be to add a protected left turn lane for CSAR 13 <br /> traffic in both the north and south directions. This would require widening of CSAR 13 to <br /> accommodate the new lanes. <br /> In review with the County Engineer, this improvement may be eligible for Highway Safety Improvement <br /> Program (HSIP) funding. Upon council direction, staff will continue to work with the county on <br /> submittal of this project for future annual HSIP solicitations. There will likely be a local funding match <br /> associated with the project but that amount would not be determined until the project is fully scoped and <br /> possible HSIP and County contributions are known. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> NA <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Consultant Recommendation—Line Avenue <br /> ■ June 26, 2000, City Council Meeting minutes <br /> ■ TH169 Ultimate Improvements Figure <br /> ■ Trott Brook Incident Report <br /> ■ Area Map <br />
