93% of the Trips are Local Trips Rather than Regional Through Trips
Most trips are best served by a complete network of local roads
Only 7% oftrips on US

Issues & Concerns:
1) Limited Street Network• Requires 29 / 49 to

• Limits the potential for an Urban Boulevard.
• Limits the Transit Oriented Development Potential of the Study Area.
2) Roadway Design Speed and Access• Limits Pedestrian Oriented
Development
• Limits Land Development Potential.
• Prohibits Rocky River Station.

These streets are critical to the success of the 29 / 49
Intersection and can be developed as
property is developed without City money:
1) Extension of the 85 Connector to City Boulevard.
2) Creation of North / South Parallel Road from connector to McCullough Drive (Harris)
3) Extension of Shopping Center Drive Over I- 85
