Notes: 1) Widths represent maximum anticipated ROW needs for generalized corridors; not precise alignments. Where a specific alignment is established through alignment studies, engineering studies or design, such alignment shall apply for the purpose of development review. Actual road location and design will be determined by specific corridor and design studies. 2) Alternative widths may be established by the local government, in consultation with other affected agencies, pursuant to an adopted Critical Area Plan or based upon an analysis of existing constraints, community planning objectives, and other considerations unique to the roadway or surrounding land development. 3) In addition to the number of travel lanes, the following are important considerations in the determination of right-of way needs for future corridors: a) Space for sidewalks to provide safe and convenient movement of pedestrians. b) The provision of bike lanes or separate bike paths. c) Space for current or future location of utilities so that, when necessary, they can be safely maintained without undue interference with traffic. The utility strip needs to be of sufficient width to allow placement of a water main so that in the case of rupture, neither the roadway pavement nor adjacent property will be damaged. d) Accommodation of stormwater at the surface or in storm drains. e) Accommodation of auxiliary lanes at intersections. f) Placement of trees to improve the aesthetic qualities of the roadway, to shade pedestrians, and improve community appearance. The space needs to be adequate to accommodate tree growth without damaging sidewalks, abutting development, or curb and gutter. g) Allowing for changes in the paved section, utilities, or other modifications, that may be necessary in order to meet unseen changes in vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, or other transportation needs as a result of changes in land use and activity patterns. 4) Planned ROW needs for Capital Circle from Centerview to W. Tennessee, as accepted by the Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency on November 19, 2001. Source: Leon County Land Development Code, Sec. 10-7.530.
