New Sidewalk on
Old Trace Road
+ intersection ramp upgrades
Added in direct response to
community concerns about
existing conditions, with planned
upgrades to the intersection
sidewalk ramps to improve
accessibility.
PARKING
Secondary Access
to Arastradero
Second access route from Old
Trace Road
Added right turn on Arastradero
creates two means to access
Arastradero and limits the need
to use the crossing for both left
and right turns.
EMERGENCY ACCESS
Red Curb Striping
for Fire Access
Painted curb to prevent overflow
parking
Red curb striping will be added
along Old Trace Road opposite
the site to keep the curb clear
and guarantee fire trucks have
full, unobstructed access into the
project and for residents near
project frontage
