EXISTING CONDITIONS • Lack of north ‐ south connectivity • Long queues at intersections today Contributes to rear ‐ end collisions • • Congestion predicted to worsen • Lack of bicycle/pedestrian facilities

PROJECT PURPOSE • Improve north ‐ south connectivity • Reduce congestion • Improve safety • Enhance alternative travel modes

COSGRAY ROAD EXTENSION TYPICAL ROADWAY ELEVATION VIEW

• Roundabout at Soccer Field/Main Site Drive Intersection • Allows for safe bike/ped crossing of Cosgray Extension • Maximizes median/bioswale length • Slower speeds (20 ‐ 25 mph design speed)

• Roundabout at Alton & Darby Creek intersection • Slower speeds (20 ‐ 25 mph design speed) • Traditional (4 ‐ leg) intersection on curve not desirable

PEDESTRIANS & BICYCLES Multi ‐ use path • Future regional trail • connection On ‐ street bicycle facilities • Split median pedestrian • crossings Future extensions to Municipal • Park & Prairie Oaks Metro Park
