Answers to Frequently Asked Questions <br />A5 a resident or owner of property along a <br />major street, what does the Street Classifi- <br />cation Map and the Arterial Collector <br />Street Plan mean to me? <br />The ACSP describes the function and intended <br />purpose of each street type identified on the Street <br />Classification Map. Those who own property, <br />operate a business, or live on an identified arterial <br />or collector street should be able to look to the <br />adopted ACSP for information about: <br />• the typical range of traffic volumes on streets <br />like theirs; <br />• the types of traffic calming techniques that <br />might be appropriate for their street; <br />• the likelihood of their property being affected <br />by a need for additional street right-of-way at <br />some point in the future; and <br />• the sorts of design features (such as curbs or <br />sidewalks) that might be included in an <br />eventual improvement project on their street. <br />I live in the Crest Drive neighborhood. What <br />efFect does the Arterial and Collector <br />street Plan have on street classifications <br />or street design in that neighborhood? <br />The ACSP will have no effect on the Crest Drive <br />neighborhood at the present time. The Planning <br />Commission is recommending to the City Council <br />that a separate transportation study be undertaken <br />for the Crest Drive neighborhood to determine <br />appropriate classifications and street design <br />standards for that neighborhood. Until that study is <br />completed, no classifications or standards are <br />proposed for Crest Drive area streets, and no street <br />reconstruction or street design projects will be <br />initiated in this area. <br />I live on an older existing street in the city - <br />one designated a5 an arterial (or collector) <br />street. Does the Arterial and Collector <br />Street Plan re~,uire my street to be widened <br />or on-street parking removed to add bike <br />lanes? <br />No. As explained above, decisions of this sort will <br />be made by the City Council through the TransPlan <br />adoption process. The adopted TransPlan addresses <br />the "major street system" (arterials and collectors) <br />and will identify which major streets will be: <br />• constructed to accommodate growth and <br />new development; <br />• widened for capacity increases; <br />• improved to add bicycle lanes; and/or <br />• improved to urban standards. <br />5 <br />
