INTERSECTIONS / CORNERS
Sweeping corners and long
crossing distances for sidewalk
users promote higher vehicle
speeds. These intersection corner
designs are based on old design
standards.

CANOPY TREES
Intermittent matures trees
spread along the corridor
provide shade where
present. Most trees
are on private property
setback from roadway
and do not provide shade
for the sidewalk.

RESIDENTIAL

CONTEXT
The majority of the
Pruneridge corridor is
lined with single-family
homes that define
this area’s residential
character.

PARKING LANES
Curbside parallel
parking is present
along the whole of the
corridor.

Existing Conditions
4 Lanes - Parking on Both Sides
• 12’ Traffic Lanes
• 64’ Curb to Curb Width
• 90’ Total ROW

INTERSECTION APPROACH
CONSIDERATIONS:
• Green-backed bike symbol at
intersection approach for visibility
• Bulb-outs, option for curb extensions
or short-term quick-build painted
option
• Parking is restricted at corners with
bollards and bike lanes - improved
sight lines is a co-benefit
• Leading pedestrian phase and bike
phase or indication
• Add vertical barrier to further protect
bicyclists from right turn movements

PARKING LANE
retains parking areas on
one side of the corridor.

BUFFERED BIKE LANES
on both sides of the
corridor are separated
with striped buffers, similar
to W. Hedding St. east of
Pruneridge Ave.

& HIGH VISIBILITY

CROSSWALKS
(at select intersections)
enhances pedestrian safety
by increasing visibility and
reducing crossing length
(short-term quick-build
painted option shown).
