TRANSPQRTATLQM JUNE, 1980 URBAN TRANSPORTATION PQLtCTgS 1.LOCAL STREETS IN THE URBAN AREA WILL BE OWTIED AND MAINTAINED BY THe CITY. Because the land use and street use density of the urban neighborhoods is relatively high, the City will provide public street access to all urban properties.

Urban density development is not appropriate on narrow or poorly niaintained private roads. Significant exceptions to this rule are in the case of a planned residential or connercial development having private maintenance personnel> or on sensitive lakeshore lots where two homes could be served by one common private driveway to reduce hardcover and topographical problems. 3- 4 URBAN STREETS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO URBAN DESIGN STANDARDS. All urban streets will be paved and of sufficient width to accommodate the number of properties being served. Intersections and drrveway aprons wil- be designed and regulated according to commonly accepted engineering safety standards. Street drainage will be designed to utilize existing natural drainage systems and to avoid direct runoff into the Lake. CURB CUTS AxND DRI^/EWAY LOC.ATICNS WILL BE LIMITED FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY.
