Implementing access management code revisions will reduce <br />and separate the conflict points along the arterial and major collector streets by managing access <br />connections and protecting intersection influence areas. <br /> <br />Conflict Point. <br />The point of potential collision where vehicle paths cross, merge into or diverge with <br />one another, pedestrians or bicycles. <br /> <br />Intersection Influence Area <br />. That area beyond the physical intersection of two rights of way that <br />comprises the upstream decision and maneuver distance, plus any required vehicle storage length, and <br />the downstream recovery distance of the primary street, and the protected corner clearance distance of <br />the secondary street. <br /> <br />Proposed Ordinance and Implementation <br />EC 7.010 Definitions. Adds and/or modifies definitions for “access connection,” “access connection <br />spacing,” “conflict point,” “controlled intersection,” “development site,” “driveway,” “easement,” <br />“intersection influence area,” “partially controlled intersection,” “primary street,” “restricted <br />movement access connection” and “secondary street.” <br /> <br />EC 7.085; 7.290; 7.297; 7.308; 7.360; 7.375; 7.385; 7.407; 7.445. Renames codes sections; replaces <br />curb cut terms with access connection; and modifies code language for code consistency in the <br />implementation of access management. <br />Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100216\S1002165.doc <br /> <br />
