Sidewalks are present on the eastern side of the street. On the western side of the street, sidewalk facilities are available beginning approximately 137 feet north of the intersection with W 11th Avenue, continuing to approximately 57 feet north of Ed Cone Boulevard. This order will not impact, and may improve, accessibility of use by pedestrians. (i) The physical condition and characteristics of the street and abutting property. i. Terry Street from W 11th Avenue to the dead end approximately 315 feet north of Ed Cone Boulevard is a local street with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.
