• Intersection skew• Pedestrian crossing distance

Conceptual Early AlternativesIntersection Options – Reservoir Avenue
• Option A: The intersection of South and ReservoirAvenues would be modified to create offset intersections.
– Pros• Eliminates skew angle• Pedestrian crossing distance for east and west legs
reduced– Cons
• Minor change to existing travel pattern slightly foreast to west movements along Reservoir Avenue
• Option B: The geometry of the intersection of South andReservoir Avenues would be modified to include a raisedisland on the east leg of the intersection.
– Pros• Pedestrian crossing distance for east leg reduced
– Cons• Skew angle not addressed• Pedestrian crossing distance for west leg not
addressed• Two pedestrian crossings on east leg
22
• Option C: The intersection of South and ReservoirAvenues would be modified so the east and west legs ofthe intersection would remain in their current locations, butthe east leg would be modified to restrict travel to one-wayin the eastbound direction.
– Pros• Pedestrian crossing distance for east leg reduced
– Cons• Skew angle not addressed• Pedestrian crossing distance for west leg not
addressed• One-way eastbound impacts westbound travel for
properties east of South Avenue
• Option D: This option is a combination of Options B and Cdescribed on previous slides.
Option B: The geometry of the intersection of South and ReservoirAvenues would be modified to include a raised island on the east leg ofthe intersection.Option C: The intersection of South and Reservoir Avenues would bemodified so the east and west legs of the intersection would remain intheir current locations, but the east leg would be modified to restrict travelto one-way in the eastbound direction.
– Pros• Pedestrian crossing distance for east leg reduced
– Cons• Skew angle not addressed• Pedestrian crossing distance for west leg not
addressed• Two pedestrian crossings on east leg• Right turn only for westbound Reservoir Avenue

Recommended option: AOption A: The intersection of South andReservoir Avenues would be modified tocreate offset intersections.
Reason for recommendation:ü Eliminates undesirable skew angleü Shortens pedestrian crossing distances
for both the east and west legs
