Road System Memo Dated 2/5/90 <br />ISSUE <br />1. Presentation of information related to the transportation <br />pattern in the northwest area. <br />2. Determine what direction, if any, the Council desires to take <br />in designating additional corridors in the area. <br />3. If direction given, the specific impact, if any, on pending <br />applications in the area. <br />INTRODUCTION - At the Council's January 22, 1990 meeting they <br />requested a review of the future road needs in the Bayside area <br />west of Tonkawa. <br />DISCUSSION - Attachment A outlines the issues related to the <br />northwest area. As noted the east/west links are adequate <br />however there is a possible future need for a north/south link <br />between Bayside and Watertown west of Stubbs Bay Road. This <br />would provide not only that connection but could limit the number <br />of direct access onto those collectors. <br />Related issues noted include roads connecting to Bayside from the <br />south. These would again limit the number of direct accesses on <br />Bayside, solve some remote lot access problems and eliminate some <br />dead ended/non cul-de-sac streets. <br />The zoning staff feels that the road system review presented is <br />preliminary and conceptual only, and recommends that the issue be <br />studied in much greater detail as part of the Comprehensive <br />Transportation Plan revisions in 1990. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />ISSUE #2 <br />1. Select specific corridors <br />a. Bayside to Watertown <br />b. South of Bayside <br />2. Designate - general corridors <br />a. Bayside to Watertown <br />b. South of Bayside
