HARRISBURG AREA LAND USE PLAN <br />-4 1 ' <br />1 <br />M� <br />�r <br />r <br />Illustration 6.6 complements the previous illustration (Illustration 6.4), depicting an enhanced roadside buffer. <br />In this hypothetical scenario, the buffer and its trail could become a linear park -like setting between Rocky <br />River Road and parallel local streets. Walkers and casual bikers on the trail would not be exposed to back <br />yards or privacy fences on their route, and residents of the neighborhood could access Rocky River Road more <br />directly, without requiring additional entry roads. <br />Ve V& W N�It7T/� 64 N1EDA41 <br />veRIrl µ WCrW P 4UiT Harl&4 <br />ti <br />.. � � ......_ "- -WITN GL W7SRS C}• TF2Fl14. <br />—' -- <br />f; <br />Illustration B.7 shows the introduction of a more organically shaped median in Rocky River Road to reduce the <br />visual impact of a four -lane highway and accommodate more natural planting of vegetation. Differing <br />centerline elevations between eastbound and westbound lanes might be considered to further enhance the <br />concept. An expanded median includes dense vegetation to enhance a green aesthetic that obscures suburban <br />land development. A forested condition could thus be carried through much of the planning area for the length <br />of the corridor. This concept contrasts broad clearing and grading necessary to execute a typical widening and <br />straightening. <br />APPENDIX B: CHARRETTE PRODUCTS <br />AUGUST 2010 <br />Attachment number 2 <br />G -1 Page 398 <br />
