(h) The intensity of use of the street by vehicles and pedestrians. <br />• Intensity of use of Charnelton Street and 10"' Avenue is discussed in section (a). <br />As noted, the re-designation may actually reduce the intensity of use of the street <br />by vehicles, since motorists will not have to drive around the block or blocks to <br />reach their destination. The proposed changes should not affect pedestrian travel, <br />but the downtown library is expected to result in an increase in pedestrian activity <br />in the area. <br />There are currently two LTD bus lines on 10`'' Avenue providing 30 minute <br />service and five LTD lines that utilize Charnelton, three of which provide 30 <br />minute service, two that operate only during peak periods. The proposed change <br />would have no effect on this usage. <br />• On-street bicycle lanes will be added to 10'h Avenue between Lincoln and Olive <br />Streets which may increase the intensity of use of the street by bicycles. <br />(i) The physical condition and characteristics of the street and abutting property. <br />• No detrimental impacts to either street or any abutting properties are anticipated. <br />Generally, commercial uses prefer two-way streets to one-way. <br />__ <br />~l) Emergencies. <br />• Emergency vehicle service will be positively affected by the re-designation, since <br />deployment and re-deployment will be more efficient. <br />(k) The public health, safety, and welfare. <br />• The public health, safety and welfare will not be affected by this action. <br />(1) Special events of community interest including parades and public gatherings. <br />• Special events will not be affected by this project. <br />(m) Construction within or adjacent to the street. <br />• Impacts on construction within or adjacent to the street will be minor. Ingress or <br />egress at construction sites by large vehicles may be more difficult, as these <br />vehicles may have more restrictive turning radii with two-way traffic. <br />
