Overview

The project includes the reconstruction of the approximate 2-mile corridor of the existing Pleasant View Road.

The goals of the project include:

• Improve operational and safety concerns
• Provide for the deficient multimodal needs of the area
• Provide an improved overall transportation network
• Replace deteriorating pavement and improve stormwater management
• Respond to public/resident concerns and expectations

The proposed improvements would improve the existing road to city standards providing an urban section with concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer. Stormwater treatment facilities are proposed along the corridor to retain and treat runoff, which currently are lacking.

Proposed operational and safety improvements include correction of several tight, substandard horizontal curves, addressing profile deficiencies and widening the roadway which will improve sight distances. A significant amount of retaining walls will likely be required to minimize impacts to adjacent properties. An 8-foot-wide multi-use trail is proposed along one side of the reconstructed street for the entire corridor to provide for bicycle and pedestrian needs as there are currently no facilities for these modes.

The city currently has the project in their 5-yr Capital Improvement Plan
however, due to the challenging design constraints resulting in a high
construction cost, the project is not fully funded.
