THE MASTER PLAN <br />Local Street Network <br />The street system changes in the master plan are suggested in order to improve traffic <br />circulation and pedestrian connectivity to the rest of the community. The majority of <br />roadway alterations are integrated to extension of Twin Lakes Parkway south to 165th <br />Avenue and the conversion of Highway io~i6g to a freeway. <br />Twin Lakes Parkway <br />Twin Lakes Parkway provides the infrastructure framework for organizing future <br />development and redevelopment in the study area. The master plan envisions the <br />roadway as a four lane collector with a planted median with a 4o mile an hour design <br />speed, and lower speeds through the Station Area Village District. Access management <br />along the roadway defines the development pattern and general parcel configurations <br />for numerous uses. Full intersections require aminimum ofone-eighth mile between <br />them, while right-in, right-out access occurs at roughly 30o feet intervals. The master <br />plan suggests the use of round-a-bouts at major intersections along Twin Lakes <br />Parkway through the study area;175th Avenue, ~7~st Avenue and the roadway leading <br />to the interchange. Round-a-bouts in these locations will aid in traffic flow and will be <br />designed with large radius and roll-up aprons to accommodate truck traffic. A traffic <br />signal is suggested for the intersection at the transit station providing a safe crossing <br />and to benefit the retail uses in the mixed use district. <br />rwn ~aKes ParKwaY section (m~ceo <br />use o~str~ct) <br />i ~~~ <br />17131.
