Item 6I Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan Amendment for S. Village Center Drive Item 6I PURPOSE Current Alignment Recommended GENERAL Alignment – S. Village Center Drive Intersection Improvements Recommended Alignment Access Easement Closed Drive Fence The following design considerations are recommended for the revised extension of S. Village Center Drive: Design as a 60’ foot (C2U) collector roadway with a speed limit not to exceed 30 mph. Design as an “Urban” cross-section roadway which includes curb gutters, street trees and sidewalks. Traffic calming measures should be considered in the design of the roadway. At the time the roadway connection to Kimball Avenue is made from the west, the CISD’s north drive connection to Kimball Avenue shall be closed and the western most school service drive shall be connected to the new roadway. Intersection improvements such as pedestrian crosswalks should be considered at the following locations: 1) the two-way intersection located at the southwest corner of the Gateway Church property; 2) the intersection at Southwood Drive; 3) the three-way intersection located at the corners of the Greenway/Quicksall/CISD properties; 4) the intersection of the school’s west drive; and 5) the intersection of S. Kimball Avenue and S. Village Center Drive. TEXT RECOMMENDATIONS The northern boundary of the CISD property should be fenced to minimize potential vehicle/pedestrian conflict. During design of the roadway, mitigation measures of the new roadway on adjacent residential properties such as landscaping, buffering, fencing and screening shall be considered. The portion of the roadway near the intersection of the CISD school drive shall be designed with a center turn lane in both directions to allow stacking to occur during school drop of and pick up times.

Village Center Drive (continued): TEXT RECOMMENDATIONS CITY COUNCIL On February 5, 2013; Approved (7-0) at 1st reading subject to the following conditions: A motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 1056, with the recommendation of a 1S/2N alignment and directing staff to provide language regarding residential adjacency and buffering concerns for the 1S portion of the road alignment at the second reading of the ordinance.
