i Kellw Paifcwav The width of Kelley Parkway, as scaled from, the Dahlstrom site plan, is 28 feet. We recommend a minimum width of 32-feet with paiking being prohibited. The face-to-face of cuib width of 32-feet is felt to be neces^ to accommodate future volumes, which could range between 2.000 and 4.000 vehicles per day. Additionally, this east-west facility will accommodate numerous short trips that won’t have to utilize Highway 12 with a more continuous Kelley Parkway. We would suggest that a trail be developed along the north side of Kelley Parkway which could extend to Old Crystal Bay Road and connect to the trail on the east side of that roadway. The trail could, in the future extend east to Willow and beyond Willow ib Brown Road. A connection of this east-west trail could be constructed along the west side of Willow Road to provide access to Highway 12. With the off-road trail along Kelley Parkway, a sidewalk along the south side is not necessary, but would be advantageous for pedestrian usage. Within the area of the Dahlstrom plan, turn lanes are not required to the proposed access. A left turn lane should be provided at Willow. The traffic control at the intersection of Kelley Parkway, with Willow Drive should consist of stop signs on Kelley Parieway. Any stop control along Kelley Parkway, other than with intersections with public streets, such as Old Crystal Bay Road, should not be necessary. Pariting should be prohibited .along Kelley Parkway in order to increase the safety along the facility. There shouldn ’t be any necessity to allow parking along this roadway. Access along Kelley Parkway can be granted ’’more generously” than along an arterial roadway. This is due to its’ function which is like a collector roadway. However, access must be kept to a level * as required ” for each land use development since the more access given, the crash potential increases and the roadway service level decreases. Access consolidation should be considered, when applicable, for new developed parcels along Kelley Parkway. Should a median be desired, for parkway and streetscape purposes, right-of-way and roadway widths will have to be reconsidered. 2^3S W09t Highway 3$• St. Paul, MN 551 IS* 651-636-4600* Fax: 651-$35^1311 I !f
