A. Guidelines for Application.

1. The Technical Committee shall review and approve each component of the street cross section on a project-by-project basis and has the authority to alter street cross section widths and uses, including utility locations.

2. Street cross section widths apply at the middle of the block.

a. The widths and existence of each component may vary at intersections, as determined by the Technical Committee.

b. Intersection design shall be based upon the Pedestrian System Plan, and Bicycle System Plan, and Design Guidance chapters of the Transportation Master Plan; the Bicycle Facilities Design Manual; the City’s Construction Specifications and Design Standards for Streets and Access; and any corridor study adopted by the City Council for the street(s) in question.

3. Provisions of medians and left turn lane access shall be determined on a project-by-project basis, based on traffic speeds, volumes and collision history, and using recognized engineering standards, such as those published by AASHTO, ITE, or other recognized authority.

4. Utilities, such as power, telephone, and cable, shall be placed under the sidewalk.

5. When designing multimodal corridors refer to the Modal Corridors section of Transportation Master Plan. Corridors shall support all modes.
