6. Walkable Community Studies

7. Collier Area Transit No sidewalk along the roadway.No connection from the sidewalk to the roadway.

8. Regulatory – Growth Management Plan Multi-modal system that is safe, cost effective to construct and maintain, accessible to all residents and visitors, energy-efficient and capable of serving existing and future demands. (Transportation Element) Encourage interconnections. (Policy 9.3)

9. Regulatory – Land Development Code  Minimum 5’ Sidewalk on both sides of the roadway.  Minimum 6’ Sidewalk on both sides of the roadway and bicycle lanes. Local RoadsCollector or Arterial Roads

10. Regulatory – Land Development Code Alternate designs that are equivalent in function and area may be approved.

11. GMD Construction Coordination Coordination among Departments & Divisions:  During the planning & design phases of new construction projects (GMP Policy 4.6): Transit users Bicyclists Pedestrians Vehicles Trucks  During RRR projects (GMP Policy 4.7): Restriping for bike lanes Paved Shoulders

Later: The Cost of Retrofit Project TypeTotal MilesDesign & Construction Costs Average Cost Per Mile Average Cost Per Linear Foot (LF) Incorporated into Capital Projects 137.3$11.8M$86,000$16.00 Stand-Alone Projects 20.18$6.15M$305,000$58.00 Current County budget for stand-alone sidewalk projects - $250,000 annually

14. Standard Vs. Enhanced Design  Standard Sidewalk Design  Enhanced Sidewalk Design

15. Conclusions Since 2000 nearly every Roadway Capital Project has incorporated the multi-modal needs of the community. Seeking an opportunity to:  Modify the Growth Management Plan to unify Goals, Objectives & Policies to be multi-modal in nature instead of compartmentalized.  Modify the Land Development Code to update Typical Cross-Sections to include multi-use paths.  Continue coordination efforts with Pathways Advisory Committee

18. Site Visibility of Commercial Signage 2015-BCC approved amendments to Section 4.06.05 General Landscape Requirements  Signs are setback 10 feet from the right of way line  One tree removed from the required buffer  Visibility triangle area is 15’ on each side of the signage for a total of 30 feet visibility. 15’-0” ROW Line 10’-0” Figure does not include double row hedge Visibility Triangle Area Sign Setback Sign No Canopy Tree Required

22. Landscape Maintenance Cost Per Mile (FY03-FY14)

23. Potential Pilot Project: Goals Rural: Low Impact Landscape Design: To provide a new direction in sustainability, cost efficiency, and fiscal prudence.  Create a visual sense of place which consists of cold tolerant native plantings which match the existing surroundings.  Pilot Project Soil Evaluation Low Fertilization Low to Natural Irrigation Minimize Density of Planting Minimize trimming Plant palette specific to site Minimize Mulching Hurricane Resistant  Public Meeting - Visual Understanding  Study and Evaluation of long term aspects Design Roads that reduce the amount of impact. Streetscape Master Plan: Rural /East of 951: Conservation Zone

24. Typical Cross-Section for Roadways Rural/East of 951: Low Impact Design During Road Construction  Inverted Medians  Evaluate Specifications For Median Backfill  Retain native soils within median  Limited Clearing to preserve trees at storm water ponds  Reuse of materials Typical Cross-Section for Roadways

25. Potential Rural Landscape Project  Secure Funding  Work with Stakeholders to Develop a scope  Determine Project Location & Length Immokalee Road Golden Gate Blvd

26. Seeking an opportunity to revisit Right of Way design standards for rural Collier County Public participation will be encouraged throughout the process Pilot Project Right of way Cross Sections  Entire Cross Section reviewed Sight visibility of Commercial Properties has been addressed. Review for Complete Street Objectives: The required Canopy Trees could provide shade for sidewalks if sidewalks are placed closer to property lines. Review median cross-section for plant sustainability in rural Collier County Conclusion
