Mme;. 11 ~ t t - is -r I Twin Lakes Parkway Twin Lakes Parkway provides the infrastructure framework for organizing future development and redevelopment in the study area. The master plan envisions the roadway as a four lane collector with a planted median with a 4o mile an hour design speed, and lower speeds through the Station Area Village District. Access management along the roadway defines the development pattern and general parcel configurations for numerous uses. Full intersections require a minimum ofone-eighth mile between them, while right-in, right-out access occurs at roughly 30o feet intervals. The master plan suggests the use of round-a-bouts at major intersections along Twin Lakes Parkway through the study area; 75th Avenue, i7ist Avenue and the roadway leading to the interchange. Round-a-bouts in these locations will aid in traffic flow and will be designed with large radius and roll-up aprons to accommodate truck traffic. A traffic signal is suggested for the intersection at the transit station providing a safe crossing and to benefit the retail uses in the mixed use district.
