Gateway Median
Gateway Signage Promote Auxiliary Access from Side Streets
Welcome and gateway signage can be added to a landscaped median to let visitors know they have arrived in Buena Vista. This can also be directional signage to the Downtown or other business districts.
Access from local side streets will be preserved and encouraged for properties with double frontage.
Landscaped Median
Reconstructed Access
Provides access management by limiting left turn movements into separated left turn lane. Medians can be used to create tree canopies contributing to a sense of enclosure and slowing traffic.
New access points will be constructed to CDOT standards and realigned to allow for safer access in and out of businesses.
Shared Access Between Businesses
6.5’ Attached Sidewalk Provides pedestrian mobility without the need for property owners to dedicate additional right-of-way for their installation.
Business owners will be able to grant shared access easements between businesses to allow visitors to enter both businesses and make left turns between the medians.
Detached Sidewalk In sections where there is a narrow right-of-way, easements would be needed to permit detached sidewalks. Landscaping buffers pedestrians from traffic.
New Turn Lane for Businesses Mid-block left turn lanes will allow access to businesses that do not have auxiliary access from local side streets. Alignment of reconstructed access points will allow this to work on both sides of the highway.
New Street Light Streetscape elements such as new street lights and signage can be added to the project to allow for additional visual enhancements to be added to the highway corridor.
