These two new ramps will connect with a public street and <br /> as such, provide overall benefit to the general public. <br /> However, the primary need for and beneficiary of this <br /> improvement is the Fashion Square development itself. <br /> The cost of this improvement is included in the overall <br /> TSIP Plan, but that program is underfunded by <br /> approximately 50 percent. Consequently, the cost of any <br /> transportation improvements which relate to and directly <br /> benefit a single development, should be borne by that <br /> development. <br /> Construction of these two ramps will substantially <br /> improve the freeway access of the Fashion Square site and <br /> permit traffic to enter and exit the development with no <br /> delay from traffic congestion on the surrounding arterial <br /> street system. <br /> 3. Widen Main Street along the Fashion Square frontage to <br /> provide four southbound lanes and a 26 foot wide median <br /> island to accormodate dual northbound left turn lanes and <br /> the columns of the future North-South Transit Guideway. <br /> A total curb to curb width of 124 feet will be required <br /> for an ultimate eight lane section planned on Main <br /> *1 Street. The increased width will be the general <br /> * responsibility of developments planned on both sides of <br /> Main Street, but some transitions in alignment may be <br /> necessary to minimize impacts to existing buildings. <br /> U <br /> 4. Construct a public roadway around the west side of the <br /> site from the intersection of Owens Drive/Broadway to <br /> Main/Town and Country. This public road shall have a <br /> capacity of 16,000 ADT and connect the new freeway ramps <br /> with Main Street and Broadway/Owens Drive. This public <br /> road will provide an alternative means of access to <br /> Fashion Square and allow traffic to virtually avoid use <br /> 112
