• During our site visit we noticed the following opportunities and constraints:

1. Proximity of multi-use facilities to travel lane 2. Width of multi-use facilities 3. Condition of pavement within multi-use facilities 4. Right-of-way/lane use/drainage (inlets)/utilities 5. Termination of facilities/connectivity

Detailed Safety Study of Lake Road (US6) Corridor (Aquamarine Boulevard eastward to Brunswick Drive)

Sidewalk Gaps & Design Challenges Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Concerns

• Lake Road / SR83 (Avon Belden Rd.) is a Key Intersection

– Heaviest traveled pedestrian crossing on Lake Road due to the proximity to the beaches, parks, and schools – As part of this study, we will give suggestions and options for the safest ways to get across this specific location

• List of Key Intersections

• Citywide Multi-Modal Study will Coordinate with Other Planning Efforts

– Ongoing Land Use Plan Update (2020) – Previous Active Transportation Plan (2015)

• Comprehensive Land Use Plan

– Collaborate with the City and OHM on the ongoing Comprehensive Land Use Study – Will review, digest and coordinate to make sure there is interconnectivity between the two studies on relevant topics (i.e. bike lanes, etc.)

RRFB Crossing Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Crossing

• MSG has experience and success in various funding programs which has secured
