The following language and attached exhibits are added: <br /> <br />"Enhanced intersections" are intersections of major and/or primary <br />arterials at which additional turning lanes have been determined to <br />be necessary to provide optimum traffic flow. The standards for <br />enhanced intersections, and the planned ultimate widths of the <br />streets forming such enhanced intersections, are set forth in <br />Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Those <br />intersections listed in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated <br />herein, are hereby designated as enhanced intersections. <br /> <br />"A local street is intended for the sole purpose of providing <br />direct access to residential properties. It serves this function <br />best when the design is generally discontinuous; the length is <br />short; and the traffic volume and speed are low to discourage <br />through traffic." <br /> <br /> 2. Owens Drive, between Broadway and Lawson Way, is hereby <br />designated as a Major Arterial street. <br /> <br /> <br />
