Summary Pedestrian improvements along Manor Blvd between Kesterson and Farnsworth to include elimination of rolled curb at critical locations and new crosswalk locations. Description Replace the rolled curbs along Manor Blvd: The rolled curbs along Manor Boulevard should be replaced with traditional vertical curbs to discourage the practice of parking on the sidewalk. When replacing the rolled curbs, the sidewalks should be widened to create more room for pedestrians and provide space for landscaping, if possible. Ideally, the sidewalks should be a minimum of 5-feet with a 3-4 foot landscaped buffer between the sidewalk and street. Note that there isn't sufficient public right of way to add a landscape strip along the north side of the street and that doing so along the south side of the street will require building improvement on land that is currently landscaped and used by the adjacent property owners. Create more pedestrian crosswalks on Manor Boulevard: In this residential neighborhood, crosswalks should be provided every 250-350 feet. Further analysis of Manor Boulevard will need to be performed to determine potential crosswalk locations. This project is items B-4a and B-4b of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Justification or Benefit of Project This project makes walking safer in this residential area. This project is a priority one pedestrian improvement of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan which was adopted by Council on 2/7/2011. Consequences of not doing the Project Without this project there will be no change in pedestrian safety along this corridor.
