Council asks staff to explore sidewalk and landscape-strip design on S.R. 920 engineering plans
Summary
Council members asked staff and city engineers to revisit S.R. 920 design standards to avoid adding landscape strips that would narrow walkways and affect adjacent homes.
Council members asked city planning and engineering staff to present alternative designs for S.R. 920 that would preserve sidewalk and travel-lane width while reducing or eliminating the city’s standard landscape strip in parts of the corridor.
The council said some existing homes fronting the road would be very close to the improved roadway if the standard landscape strip and sidewalk were applied as currently drafted. Councilmembers asked staff to return with recommendations that engineers can incorporate in design phases to avoid costly rework later.
No formal action was taken; staff were directed to coordinate with planning commission members and the city engineer and to present options to the council and planning commission for review before final engineering designs are completed.
