Northside Road Crossing

Site Context

As the gut approaches Northside Road, the water is channeled into a pipe that goes underneath the roadway and emerges out into an open vegetated area.

Baseline Recommendations

Perform hydrology study to determine if existing piping can accommodate flooding and runoff.

If there are issues with flooding on the adjacent parcels, it is recommended to increase the capacity of the piped drainage.

Rebuild Approach

Install new pedestrian signal to connect new development to new park.

A safe crosswalk would be needed if both sites were to be redeveloped. This crossing would include a new pedestrian signal, curb bump-outs, and a pedestrian island.

Improve sidewalk network along roadway.

A better sidewalk network along Northside Road would enhance connectivity beyond the gut and along the commercial corridor.
