"' 0 i4&01 <br />T R A\ C E <br />Section 4 Circulation and Connectivity <br />The Project will offer superior street designs that will include wider sidewalks, separated bike paths <br />and enhanced landscaping to provide an attractive and inviting aesthetic that provides residents with <br />a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community. Separated bike paths and wide sidewalks create a safer <br />environment for parents and children walking to and from the centrally located central park, amenity <br />center and elementary school. <br />The entire street scene is superior due to the fact that homes will front onto the Residential Collector <br />Streets lending to a more inviting and friendly community. In addition to the enhanced parkways on <br />either side of the collector roads, a minimum 16 foot median is added to convey a park -like impression <br />as well as to give an added safety feature of a left hand turn lane where needed. On the road entering <br />the project from Old Bastrop Highway, the existing 50 foot wide City Wastewater easement is utilized <br />as a linear park with a 12 foot meandering bike trail. Throughout the entire community added <br />landscaped parkways and wide naturalized buffers have been added. <br />In the area near the Business Center an additional 25' landscape area further buffers that area from <br />street traffic. The neighborhood retail areas, the multi -family areas and the single family areas are <br />separated from the collector street by a naturalized landscape buffer and water quality zone that <br />ranges from approximately 120 feet up to approximately 315 feet. This area will have a meandering to <br />foot trail and native and adapted ornamental plant materials to lend a park like atmosphere even in <br />the most intense uses of the community. <br />Illustration 16: Vehicle Circulation Plan <br />25 <br />
