Document Description
Adding a 215-meter long by 3.6-meter wide auxiliary/merge lane >increasing the 213 meter radius (72 kph) horizontal curve to a 300 meter radius (80 kph) horizontal curve, >increasing stopping sight distance and increasing shoulder widths to current standards, and >conforming this project to the recently completed ramp widening/signalization project that took place slightly to the north of this proposed project. It is highly recommended that a barrier be installed between the southbound on-ramp and Boulder Creek. This barrier can be an earthen berm or MBGR. Behind this barrier and before the top of the bank, planting a mixture of native shrubs and trees will help provide protection and provide partial mitigation for the design effect on Boulder Creek (the design prevents the establishment of riparian vegetation). Removal and trimming of trees along the southbound ramp should be Boulder Creek (the design prevents the establishment of riparian vegetation). Removal and trimming of trees along the southbound ramps should be reduced to the absolute minimum necessary to complete the project.
