37 <br />Key Outcomes <br />• As the street pavement becomes due for repair or replacement, design the street with sidewalks on both sides, buried utilities, and more <br />aesthetically attractive lighting. <br />• Work with current and future owners on mutually beneficial <br />opportunities to consolidate access, facilitating access agreements <br />or new access points, as needed, to promote safety along Main Street <br />East. <br />UPTOWN <br />Jackson Street Crossing & Main Street East <br />Consolidated Access <br />6’SIDEWALK <br />6’SIDEWALK <br />6’BOULEVARD <br />6’BOULEVARD <br />11’ TRAVEL4’ SHOULDER, CURB, & GUTTER <br />4’ SHOULDER, CURB, & GUTTER <br />11’ TRAVEL11’ CENTER TURN LANE <br />Main Street East <br />Main Street East would benefit from minor <br />design improvements. The existing street layout <br />should remain, but should add a new sidewalk <br />along the north side of the street. This would <br />require reducing the current shoulders, and <br />reconstructing and reversing the sidewalk <br />and boulevard on the south side of the street. <br />Additionally, the city should bury the existing <br />utility poles, add new lighting, and add features <br />like banners, trees, signage, and art. <br />Jackson Avenue Crossing <br />Improving the Jackson Avenue crossing at <br />Highway 10 will offer better pedestrian safety <br />and stronger connectivity between Downtown <br />and Uptown. <br />Solutions could include a longer and dedicated <br />pedestrian crossing signal timing, pedestrian <br />refuges within Highway 10 at the center <br />medians, and tightening up the curbs at each <br />intersection. Adding a marked cross walk across <br />Jackson Avenue on the north side, will also help <br />pedestrian visibility. <br />Other improvements could come by working <br />with current and future property owners to <br />consolidate property access onto side streets, <br />where possible. Minimizing driveways and <br />vehicle access onto the street would benefit <br />both vehicles and pedestrian by keeping vehicle <br />access to intersections. This would require <br />working with existing and future property <br />owners to redirect access to side streets, or <br />potentially establish new access points. Shared <br />access and/or parking agreements may also be <br />needed for some properties. <br />HWY 10 <br />BNSF RAI <br />L <br /> <br />L <br />I <br />N <br />E <br />JACKSON AVEPage 107 of 157
