Lakewood Drive and Brandon Blvd Intersection Improvements

The Lakewood Drive at Brandon Blvd. proposed alternatives all include modifications to the north leg of the intersection only.  A traffic separator is proposed to be constructed in the median for the entire length of the left turn lane.

• Alternative #1: retains the existing lane configuration on Lakewood Drive, the lengths of the left turn lane and the shared through/right turn lane are extended to accommodate more vehicles in the queues.  This alternative provides 12-foot lanes, 4-foot bike lanes, curb and gutter, and six-foot sidewalks at the back of curb in both directions.  In addition, a traffic separator is constructed in the median for the entire length of the left turn lane.

  
  
• Alternative #2: similar to alternative A.  This alternative provides 11-foot lanes, four-foot bike lanes, curb and gutter, and five-foot sidewalks installed three feet from the back of curb to allow for a grass utility strip in both directions. In addition, a traffic separator is constructed in the median for the entire length of the left turn lane.
  
  
  
• Alternative #3: similar to alternatives A & B.  This alternative provides 11-foot lanes, four-foot bike lanes, curb and gutter, and six-foot sidewalks at the back of curb in both directions.  In addition, a traffic separator is constructed in the median for the entire length of the left turn lane.
