Segment Analysis 4 <br />4-15 <br />4.3.1 SEGMENT 3 - RELEVANT ROADWAYS <br />The roadways in the vicinity are also under <br />review to determine potential alternatives <br />or additional connections to the trail. The <br />roadways under review for Segment 3 are <br />98th Avenue and a residential street named <br />Empire Road. The street sections can be found <br />in Appendix 1. <br />98th Avenue has a pavement width of <br />approximately 84 to 94 feet and ROW of 104 <br />feet. It has a 12-foot wide center turn lane/ <br />marked median and three travel lanes in <br />each direction. There is no on-street parking. <br />Sidewalk area consists of approximately 4 <br />to 6 feet of planting between the road and <br />sidewalk pavement and approximately five <br />feet of sidewalk paving. However, over the San <br />Leandro Creek, the sidewalk width reduces to <br />approximately 5.5 feet with around five to six <br />feet of marked buffer on the street, and the <br />center turn lane converts to a 14-foot wide <br />planted median. <br />Empire Road starts at Coral Road in a <br />neighborhood north of 98th Avenue and <br />traverses east, ending into a cul-de-sac, west <br />of the railroad tracks. The part of the roadway <br />south of 98th Avenue is under review and has <br />a 30-foot wide pavement with no sidewalks. <br />While parking is allowed except at certain <br />times, the pavement itself does not have <br />marked parking. The street provides access to <br />Columbia Gardens Park and also to the open <br />space at the eastern end of the street.FIGURE 4-13: SEGMENT 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />61
