Body
Legislative History
15-68 - Enter into a design contract with GPD Group
15-0010 - Discussion regarding design options was held on January 27, 2015.
Purpose & Explanation
The City Administration would like to present to City Council the different design options with costs for the Barlow Road Improvements and the improvements at the intersection of Barlow/Terex.
Below is an outline for the discussion:
Terex Road & Barlow Road Alternative Study
> Existing conditions - LOS, accidents, geometry, structures in proximity
> Proposed alternatives
o Alternate A - roundabout, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate B - realignment moving intersection SE, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate C - realignment moving intersection W, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate D - existing geometry, signal, +/-'s & cost
> Alternate Impact Matrix-recommendation
> Additional considerations
o Metroparks overpass
o County bridges on Barlow and Terex
o Pedestrian/bike connection across intersection
Barlow Road Discussion
> Existing conditions -accidents, speeds, geometry, pavement condition, intersection inclusion
> Proposed Alternatives
o Alternate 1 - 11' lanes with 1/2 ft. paved berms, no geometry improvements, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate 2 - 11' lanes with 1 1/2 ft. paved berms, geometry improvements, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate 3 - 12' lanes with 1 1/2 ft. paved berms, geometry improvements, +/-'s & cost
o Alternate 4 - 12' lanes + 1 ft. offset with curb, geometry improvements, +/-'s & cost
