Table H-5 in Appendix H illustrates changes from arterial to a m inor arterial classification along 10 street segm ents within the Medford UGB. These changes ty pically reflect the lower traffic volum es and lower through traffic-m oving function of these facilities in comparison with those that were identified for m ajor arterial classification. Additionally , in som e instances, roadway s proposed for minor arterial classification currently have only a 2 to 3 lane cross- section and it would be difficult to justify a street widening to meet the City ’s existing arterial street d esign standards (which require four travel lanes with left turn channelization). Major Collector The proposed cross-section for a m ajor collector street, as illustrated in Table 5-6, is consistent with the 74-foot ROW required for collectors under the City ’s existing Developm ent Code. A 44-foot paved width is proposed to accom modate 11-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 12-foot center m edian or left turn lane, and five-foot bicy cle lanes in each directi on. Five-foot sidewalks and 10-foot planter strips form the rem aining 30 feet of ROW. As an altern ative, 7-foot sidewalks could be provided on both sides without planter strips where right-of-way is constrai ned. No on-street parking would be perm itted along a major collector street except where included in an adopted neighborhood plan , neighborhood circulation plan or Transit-Oriented District plan. The newly constructed segm ent of Juanipero Way between Olympic and Golf View is representative of the desi gn standards for a m ajor collector as depicted in Table 5-6. Major collectors link arterial and lower-order streets, serving both direct land access and traffic mobility functions. For purposes of the TSP, it is assum ed that all streets currently designated as collectors are major collectors with exception of the street segm ents identified in Table H-5 under the heading of “Minor Collectors”. Exam ples of existing m ajor coll ector streets include Lozier Lane, Hillcrest Road, Black Oak Drive, Sunrise Avenue, and Springbrook Ro ad. There are about two dozen m ajor collector roadway s within the UGB. In a few locations it will be necessary to upgrade street classifications to major collector to recognize the nature of traffic m ovem ent on a particular street. These upgrades are presented in Table H-5. Minor Collector Minor collectors run through neighborhoods, linking resi dential traffic on local streets with higher classification of collector and arterial roadway s. In c ontrast to major collectors, which provide a greater degree of m obility com pared to land access, m inor collector streets place a greater emphasis on direct land access compared to through traffic m ovem ent. Most of the m inor collector designations illustrated in Figure 5-2 resulted from downgrading a collector street to m inor collector status. In a few locations, it will be necessary to upgrade street classifications to m inor collector to recognize the nature of traffic movem ent on a particular street. These upgrades are presented in Table H-5. The proposed m inor collector street cross-section has one 11-foot travel lane, one 5-foot bicy cle lane, and one 7-foot parking lane in each direction. This street classification would also have a 5-foot sidewalk in each direction with 8-foot planter strips on both sides, or 7-foot sidewalks on both sides without planter strips. Total paved width between the curbs is 46 feet within a 72-foot ROW. Standard Residential Standard residential streets provide access to adjacent residential land and also connect collectors with m inor residential streets. No changes are proposed to the City ’s existing Standard Medford Transportation Syst em Plan 5-23 Street Plan
