H-11Minor Collector
Minor collectors run through neighborhoods, linking reside ntial traffic local on local streets with higher
classification collector and arterial roadways. In contrast to major collectors, which provide a greater
degree of mobility compared to land access, minor collector streets place a greater emphasis on direct
land access compared to through traffic movement.
The proposed minor collector street cross-section has one 11-foot travel lane, one 5-foot bicycle lane, and
one 7-foot parking lane in each direction. This str eet classification would also 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.
Rationale for Reclassification
Streets proposed to be reclassified from collector to minor collector include:
•
•
• • Stevens Street from Crater Lake to Wabash Avenue
Edwards Street from Court Street to Riverside Avenue
Oakdale Avenue from Stewart Avenue to Garfield Street
Holmes Avenue from Oakdale Avenue to Holly Street
Three local streets are proposed for reclassification as minor collectors:
• Pearl Street from Stevens Street to Oregon St reet and Oregon/Inverness Street from Stevens
Street to Sunrise Avenue : Reclassification of these two streets would provide a continuous
collector street route from the current collector str eet terminus on Stevens Street at Pearl Street to
the intersection of Inverness Street with Sunrise Avenue (which is also currently classified as a
collector street). This reclassification comple tes a missing connectivity link in the collector
street system.
• Barneburg Street from Main Street to Jackson Street : Classification of this street as a minor
collector acknowledges its current functional u se and fills a system gap between the major
collector that ends on the south side of the Barneburg Road/Main Street intersection and the
major collector that begins on the north side of the Jackson Street/Sunrise Avenue intersection.
Current and projected traffic volumes along this st reet are consistent with this classification.
Standard Residential
Standard residential streets provide access to adjacent residential land and also connect collectors with
minor residential streets. No changes are proposed to the City’s existing Standard Residential street
design standards that are illustrated in Table H-3. Because the designation of standard residential streets
is adequately set forth in the City’s Land Deve lopment Code (and is de pendent upon the number of
dwelling units proposed in a land development applicati on that will be served by the street), illustration of
proposed standard residential streets in the TSP is not appropriate. Accordingly, these streets are not
reflected in Figure 5-2. Existing standard residential streets are illustrated in Figure 3-1.
