sidewalk, plus 12-feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for
the street to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate
centerline.A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway
storm runoff should be constructed on the unimproved side.
The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk, or
for detached sidewalk, the applicant may reduce the right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb
and provide a permanent right-of-way easement from the right-of-way line to 2-feet behind back

3. Livable Street Performance Measures
District policy 7203.8 states that ACHD has adopted performance measures (level of stress) for
evaluating the experience of bicyclists and pedestrians. ACHD seeks to create a transportation
network that serves all ages and abilities. Bike and pedestrian facilities built through development
should achieve a bike and pedestrian level of traffic stress 1 or 2, with no new bike lane below a
minimum of 5-feet.
4. Pine Avenue and Locust Grove Road
Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all
of the adjacent streets. Improvements shall include transitional segments in accordance with the
current version of PROWAG.
Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of
improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master
Street Map, Livable Streets Design Guide, and the most current ACHD Livable Streets Performance
Measures Plan as adopted by the ACHD Commission. The developer or engineer should contact
the District before starting any design.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state The
standard 5-lane street section shall be 59-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane or landscaped
median with intermittent turn lanes, and curbs and gutters. A 5-lane road shall also include a
minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path on both sides with an 8-foot wide buffer from back-of-curb.
Other bike facility treatments as defined in the ACHD Bike Master Plan may be approved at the
discretion of the ACHD Development Review Supervisor. If an interim on-street bike lane is required
in order to connect to existing facilities, the street section shall be 75-feet to allow for a 5-foot wide
bike lane and 3-foot wide painted buffer. The standard right-of-way width for a 5-lane arterial is 100-
feet.
Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation
for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact
14 Pine 43 Mixed Use /

fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the
Impact Fee Service Area.
No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee
eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan.
The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor
for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300.
Pedestrian Facilities: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide are
required on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back-
of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of
pedestrians. Alternatively, on roadways identified for improvement in the Capital Improvement Plan,
a minimum 10-foot wide multi-use path may be required. The path shall be placed in accordance
with planned buildout in the Master Street Map with a minimum 8-foot wide planter strip as
measured to the closest edge of the path. Street trees are encouraged between the pedestrian
facility and the roadway when irrigation and maintenance will occur by the adjacent property owner
or HOA through an approved license agreement. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees
are to be placed within the parkway strip. In some instances, to match existing conditions, a
minimum 7-foot wide sidewalk may be constructed next to the back-of-curb. ACHD Development
Review staff will be responsible for determining the required facility. Vertical hardscape alternatives
to street trees may be considered in the buffer space when street trees are not practicable.
Detached sidewalks and multi-use paths are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent
roadway. Pedestrian facilities will only be allowed to deviate from a straight line parallel to the
roadway when authorized by Development Review staff to accommodate site specific conditions
(i.e., street trees, utilities, etc.).
Appropriate easements shall be provided if public pedestrian facilities are placed out of the right-of-
way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-of-way line and 2-feet behind
the back edge of the pedestrian facility. Pedestrian facilities shall either be located wholly within the
public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
Curb ramps or blended transitions shall be provided to connect the pedestrian access route at each
pedestrian street crossing in accordance with the current version of PROWAG. Provide detectable
warning surface in accordance with the current version of PROWAG.
Frontage Improvements Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer shall widen the
pavement to a minimum of 17-feet from centerline plus a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder adjacent to
the entire site. Curb, gutter and additional pavement widening may be required (See Section
7205.5.5).

width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk or multi-use path is located within an
easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet
behind the back-of-curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 47-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike
lanes. If a multi-use path is determined to be the required treatment, the street section shall be
reduced to 37-feet. If it is determined a continuous center left-turn lane is not appropriate and a
path is installed, the street section may be reduced to 26-feet.
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a
collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will
consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into
consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes,
and on-street parking.
At the discretion of Traffic Engineering staff, adjustments may be made to the street section,
including removal of the continuous center turn lanes or modification to lane widths, where no
driveways or intersections are present or to ensure adequate space for pathways and buffers.

Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side.
