Practical Application of the Complete Streets Guide
The provision of the shared use path on the north side of the street is continued into this node. The Symmes Road at Violet Orchard Place aerial plan view, Figure 7-24, identifies the locations of the shared use path at the intersection on the north side of Symmes Road within the right-of-way. The red lines are the right-of-way limits in this segment. The use of boardwalks on both sides of the road minimizes road widening and possible culvert extensions as shown in Figure 7-25. The boardwalks also identify the wetlands as an area of interest and an opportunity to educate the public on the wildlife habitat and its importance to the ecosystem, i.e., “where streets allow access to (natural) places, there are opportunities to help visitors experience these areas...” Figure 7-25 Proposed Design Elements: Violet Orchard Place
