Tiny Road Roadway Conceptual Analysis Study. (Transportation Planning Division)
body
PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE:
The Transportation Planning Division has completed the Roadway Conceptual Analysis Study for the improvement of Tiny Road. The purpose of the study was to develop the most appropriate road alignment with stormwater facilities and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, while minimizing environmental impacts. This project incorporates complete streets principles. The proposed design will have roundabouts at three intersections and horizontal curvature at their approaches to encourage lower speeds with 11-foot travel lanes in each direction. A 22-foot median is introduced at the intersection with Hamlin Groves Trail and extends to just north of Orchard Hills Boulevard. A continuous 10-foot shared-use path on both sides is proposed as part of the Horizon West trail system. Transportation planning had discussions with the schools, HOA’s, and two community meetings to gather and incorporate citizen input. The limits for the project are from Bridgewater Middle School’s southern property line to Tilden Road, approximately 1.90 miles. Tiny Road is in western Orange County (District 1).
At the January 7, 2025, Work Session, staff will present the results of the study establishing the purpose and need for the recommended improvements. The recommendations are based on a variety of factors, including future traffic demand, operations, safety, and social and economic factors.
This item is for informational purposes only; no action is required. Following the work session, a Public Hearing will be scheduled.
