Concept A - BasicPros• Full access to N. 88th (east) street• Left turn phase provides lead phase for ped crossing (south leg)• Crossing island for south ped crossign on AuroraCons• Rights only at 87th and 88th Streets (west)
Concept C - U-turn IslandPros• Protected ped phase without yielding vehicles• Minimizes signal phases• Maximum greening of the medianCons• Loss of left turn access in/out on N. 88th (east)• Long u-turn phase (equal to ped x-ing time)• Right turns only from side streets
Concept B - Box & IslandPros• Shorter crossing distances for peds• Keeps full access for eatbound 83rdCons• Doesn’t address 85th Street northbound left turn• Peds may be trapped on island
Concept C - TrianglePros• Allows longer left turn pocket for
northbound 85th Street• Elinimates N. 83rd westbound right lane• Moves south crosswalk to square up
intersection
