Corridor plan includes shared‑use path and bridge sidewalk to connect schools and shopping

The presenter said the corridor plan includes a shared‑use path or wide sidewalk that would run from the high school north to Route 619 and could be extended to Northridge in future phases to connect neighborhoods to grocery and shopping centers. He described fitting a 7–8 foot sidewalk on the bridge within a 66‑ft structure by reallocating space (removing left‑turn lanes due to roundabout use) and adding a 2‑ft raised median and barrier wall.

Not every roundabout approach will include a crosswalk, the presenter said, but the corridor design emphasizes continuous pedestrian facilities where feasible. “...we got 66 foot. So we'll do, 4 lane foot lanes and then a a 2 foot raised medium and then a a barrier wall and then we'll have room for a 7 to 8 foot sidewalk up to there,” the presenter said while reviewing bridge graphics.
