USING STREET TYPES Sample Clauses

USING STREET TYPES. Individual Treatments These street types reflect the general intent for improvements of the public right of way, and guidance for development of private rights of way within private parcels. Specific designs for each street are subject to change based on site conditions or existing right-of-way conditions. In these cases, the Public Works Official shall determine how the proposed design meets the urban design and mobility intent of the designated street type. Street Type Elements Street types are comprised of the following elements: • Pedestrian Clear Zone: the primary, accessible portion of the sidewalk that runs parallel to the street. This zone must be clear of obstructions and elements that could impede pedestrian travel. • Furnishing Zone: the section of the sidewalk between the curb and the pedestrian clear zone in which street furniture and amenities, such as lighting, benches, utility poles, tree pits, and green infrastructure are provided. • Bikeway: the portion of the right-of-way exclusively dedicated to bicycle travel. This can include a variety of facilities, including designated bike lanes, at-grade protected bike lanes or grade-separated (sidewalk level) protected bike lanes. Bicycle riders may also use other facility types that are not exclusive bikeways, but shared facilities such as Neighborhood Greenways, which are low volume, low speed streets, with signage, pavement markings, and traffic calming elements to prioritize pedestrian and bicycle travel; or shared use bicycle and pedestrian facilities such as temporary on-street paths or off-street shared use paths or trails. • Roadway: the area between curbs, which can include travel lanes, on-street parking, and bikeways. Preferred and Minimum Dimensions The street types show dimensions that reflect the desired space allocation for each portion of the right of way. The table below shows preferred and minimum dimensions for street type elements for each street type. Preferred dimensions should be constructed, except where the Public Works Official determines allowed deviations from these dimensions pursuant to modification procedures in KZC 110.70.
