l I City of OROrVO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. _ _^^-412 14) Navarre Heights and Northern Avenue residents are justly concerned about increased traffic in and through their neighborhood. The intent of the City Council is to accommodate any new traffic flow from this large study area in the safest manner possible, with the least adverse effect on the immediate neighborhood, and on the public generally. 15) The Council is concerned with maintaining and improving the safety and traffic handling ability of County Road 15. Increasing the number of curb cuts increases traffic conflicts and decreases safety. Eliminating poorly designed or located curb cuts improv s safety and reduces the need for major changes in roadway design. 16) The traffic studies forecast about 70-80% of the new trips generated by future development within the study area would eventually travel east of Navarre on County Road 15. The studies recommended three routes for this traffic; a) Use of a widened and improved Blaine Avenue, including an improved intersection of Blaine Avenue and County Road 15. The long range plan would be to install traffic signals at this intersection because it also serves opposing Casco Point Road. b) Use of the existing signalized intersection at County Road 19 and 15. The best route from the study area to this intersection is via Livingston Avenue because Livingston is wider than Crystal Place or Lyric, because Livingston has the best intersection with County Road 19, and because Lyric and Crystal Place each have poor intersections within the existing neighborhood. c) Continuation of a new street through the study area to a new intersection with County Road 15 located in the approximate area of the existing Mary Sohns driveway because of the superior intersection characteristics of this location.
