COLUMBIA ROAD INTERSECTION - TRAILHEAD NODE <br />The Columbia intersection has been highlighted <br />by both residents and safety officials as being <br />particularly high risk for both cars and pedestrians. <br />Traffic safety issues at this location are of particular <br />concern due to the school's proximity. Increased <br />AM peak volumes and the addition of pedestrian <br />and bicycle traffic to the area necessitates <br />details that will make this intersection as safe as <br />possible. This is the result of its non -perpendicular <br />geometry. The Intersection is also within close <br />proximity to upcoming development (the new <br />consolidated North Olmsted elementary school) in <br />the city. <br />"Columbia has always been an area of concern <br />due to alignment "- North Olmsted Safety Team <br />Recommendations for this node focus on safety <br />improvements, a Metroparks connection, and <br />development opportunities. <br />PRIORITIES <br />• Traithead transit stop. <br />• Enhanced transit waiting environment. <br />• Lorain Road multi -use path. <br />• Street trees. <br />• Green frontage enhancements at surface <br />parking lots. <br />• Intersection realignment. <br />• High visibility crosswalks. <br />• Signal modification - leading pedestrian <br />Interval. <br />• FRONTAGE STANDARDS <br />ENHANCED TRANSIT AMENITIES <br />UO TRAILHEADTHEMED TRANSIT STOP <br />0 MEDIAN <br />® REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY <br />INTERSECTION REALIGNMENT <br />LORAIN ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />
