Role of 25th Road in the Refined Concepts • Staff and consultants did not utilize 25th Road in any of the Initial Concepts presented to the Task Force on 3/7/19. • Since that time, staff has confirmed the extent of the County’s right-of-way, adjacent to the study area • Existing pavement for 25th Road stops at the edge of the Missionhurst parking lot, while the County’s right of way continues further north

Role of 25th Road in the Refined Concepts Challenges of utilizing 25th Road for truck access to the 26/OD site: • Problematic turning movements for larger trucks - based on current lane configurations and intersection geometry • Increase in traffic volume at un-signalized intersection (where queuing concerns have previously been raised) • Significant impact to single-family homes through intensified use of 25th Road
