SE 4th Street Reconstruction Project Basis of Design (B)
This item is a request to present the various typical cross section options for the SE 4th Street Reconstruction Project and to request a selection of one typical cross section and authorization to proceed with 60% plans. **ESTIMATED STAFF PRESENTATION 30 MINUTES**
Explanation
SE 4th Street from Williston Road to Depot Avenue is an urban collector roadway with heavy industrial type traffic that traverses both industrial and residential land uses. The pavement condition is rated between 44 and 79 PCI and is 17’ wide.
