3.0 PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Application of the Big Ideas
Suburban Corridor
Planning Objectives:
• Manage curb cuts per current standards • Consider use of shared access drives and side streets • Provide non-motorized connections to multi-family housing that is located near Oakland Avenue, but behind the commercial frontage • Complete trail network parallel to Wayne Avenue • Create a new multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists along Oakland Avenue in this corridor out to the Walmart site • Consider boulevard median where possible in this corridor, particularly at the north end of the Suburban Corridor and on both Wayne and Oakland Avenues
• Continue suburban development model, to allow for auto-oriented businesses but guide development towards improving non-motorized access with sidewalks and moving buildings closer to street to improve the character and pedestrian/cyclist access
• Provide for street trees, stormwater management, landscaping, and improved signage • Encourage infill development along street frontage where site has excess of parking
