APPROVE REDESIGN CONCEPT FOR SANTA CRLIZ AVENUE AND BACHMAN
AVENUE INTERSECTION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve attached redesign concept for Santa Cruz Avenue and Bachman Avenue Intersection,
BACKGROUND:
Staff made a presentation on Downtown Beautification Plan on February 7, 2000. Council requested that staff return with
a revised option for the North Santa Cruz Avenue/Bachman Intersection Design which incorporates bulb -outs instead
of "pork chop" islands at the northeast and southwest corners.
DISCUSSION:
Direction to staff was to return on February 22, 2000 with a revised design proposal which followed the approved Master
Plan as closely as possible, but used bulb -outs instead of pork -chop islands at the northwest and southeast corners and
also aligned Bachman Avenue.
In order for the proposed design to function properly, the bus stop needed to be located inside of the southwest parking
bay. This allows the bus to get out of the path of vehicle travel in order to stop adjacent to the intersection.
Villa Hermosa sidewalk, as well as street lights, benches, and planter areas are shown as called for in the approved
Master Plan design.
The benefit to this proposed design is that it provides the intent of the approved master plan while allowing the
intersection to function more safely due to the equilateral design of the cross streets.
CONCLUSION:
Staff was able to provide the attached current design which is very similar to the approved master plan with the
exception of aligning Bachman Avenue.
