Corridor- Focused Recommendations The following field observations were made along Sycamore School Road. These observations pertain to the entirety of the corridor and are not segment - specific, unless otherwise noted. Speed Management Sycamore School Road is striped for four lanes. The wide road design, especially at times of low traffic volume, encourages higher travel speeds. • It is recommended that the corridor be studied for a road diet. It is recommended that the road be narrowed from a four-lane to three-lane cross- section. • In the short term, in the absence of a road diet, it is recommended that speed feedback signs be installed to discourage speeding.
Pedestrian Facilities Intermittent gaps of sidewalk connectivity were observed along the corridor.
• It is recommended that gaps in the sidewalk be filled . A road diet will allow for increased sidewalk width and increased buffer space, as well as planted buffers and street trees. Bicycle Facilities Sycamore School Road is not designated as a bike route; however, increased bicycle connectivity can be achieved by widening one of the sidewalks to accommodate a shared use path, if desired. This would be feasible with the extra right -of- way remaining after a road diet.
