Corridor- Focused Recommendations The following field observations were made along Sharondale Street. These observations pertain to the entirety of the corridor and are not segment - specific, unless otherwise noted.
There is no posted speed limit along Sharondale Street.
There is a moderate amount of parallel parking along the corridor.
Pedestrian Facilities There were no sidewalks observed along Sharondale Street. Poor sight lines caused by on-street parking create conditions that may decrease the likelihood of motorists yielding to pedestrians. • To improve pedestrian connectivity, it is recommended that sidewalks be constructed on both sides of the street. • It is recommended that t raffic calming measures, such as bump outs and curb extensions, be added at corners and other pedestrian crossings, to improve pedestrian visibility and vehicle sight lines. These curb extensions will also formalize designated on -street parking areas and provide a visual narrowing of the street to calm traffic. Bicycle Facilities Because of the surrounding residential land use, observed low speed along the corridor, and presence of on-street parking, it is recommended to treat the corridor as a bike boulevard and install sharrow pavement markings.
