<br />Sector Five <br /> <br />Chapter 3 - Tomorrow <br /> <br />Transportation <br /> <br />This section of the plan focuses on identifying transportation system improvements that <br />are currently planned, or are recommended to serve future development as detailed in the <br />Future Land Use Plan. <br /> <br />Goals <br /> <br />. Sector Five should have "walkable" neighborhoods that are pedestrian-friendly for <br />children and adults <br />· Safe bicycling routes on all major streets should connect neighborhoods with <br />desirable destinations, such as parks, schools, and shopping <br />. Traffic calming solutions should be implemented on appropriate neighborhood streets <br />to reduce "cut-through" traffic <br />. Adequate planning for internal circulation in new commercial development should be <br />required to prevent traffic problems that are typical of unplanned "strip commercial" <br />development <br />. Street design should balance the need to move cars with community aesthetics and <br />safety for pedestrians and bicyclists <br />· As new land develops, an interconnected street system, either through a traditional <br />street grid or curvalinear grid, is encouraged to reduce the funneling of traffic onto a <br />small number of roads and to ensure pedestrian and bicycle connectivity <br />. As with all roadway projects, an appropriate balance should be achieved between <br />moving cars and protecting and/or enhancing community safety and character. <br /> <br />Streets <br /> <br />The following new streets are planned (planned functional classification in parenthesis): <br />. Extension of Leah from Wonder World Drive to Clovis Barker Rd (collector); <br />. Cottonwood Parkway from IH 35 towards SH 123 (minor arterial,four-lane); <br />. Sadler Drive from Wonder World Drive to Cottonwood Parkway (collector); and <br />. New road from McCarty Lane to Centerpoint Rd, east of and parallel to IH 35 <br />(minor arterial, four-lane). <br /> <br />These proposed streets are shown on the Transportation Plan Map at the end of this <br />section. <br /> <br />Adopted: April 22, 2002 <br /> <br />3-6 <br />
