Some sidewalk in -fill segments are recommended. • Existing encroachments in public right-of-way would present a challenge in providing continuous sidewalks.

Bicycles, pedestrians and vehicles combine on street. New home construction on street. No existing sidewalks. Existing fence and landscape encroachments. Existing crossing guard on Irvine Avenue @ Beacon Street. Some adjacent residents object to parking time restrictions. Red curb and ane -Way Streets • Red curb was reviewed for sight distance requirements at all intersections and alleys along 15th Street. • All intersections along 15th Street meet Federal, State and city standards for sight distance. • Specific location requests for red curb in other areas of Newport Heights can be reviewed by Public Works staff on a case-by-case basis. • One-way streets were not reviewed or recommended in study. • They have not been supported by majority of residents in other areas (CdM). • May be considered inconvenient for residents. Forces drivers to take longer routes to their destinations. • Add degree of confusion • Possible increase in speeds. • May increase volumes on other streets.
