1st Street The current configuration of 1St Street is two south -bound lanes with: • Sidewalks on both sides of the street. • Parallel parking on the west side of the street between Price Street and Houston Street. • Front-end angled parking around the square. • Front-end angled parking on the west side of the street between Grand Avenue and Austin Avenue. • Parallel parking on the east side of the street between Austin Avenue and Sherman Street. The proposed retrofit for 1St Street includes: • Bulbouts at each intersection and where appropriate along the corridor. • 8'-0" parallel parking on the west side of the street. • A 23'-0" travel way that includes one -travel lane in each direction. • A 5'-0" planting strip, with curb, to provide separation for the separated bicycle facility. • A 10'-0" separated bicycle facility that is at street level. Should the finances become available for a more robust cross-section, it should include: • Valley gutters between the on -street parking row and the travel way, and • A sidewalk -level separated bicycle facility. Figure 5: 15` Street: Existing, Proposed with Retrofit and Full Build -out. 1St Street was identified as the primary street for a separated bicycle facility due to having a larger curb - to -curb cross-section than Main Street, and minimal impacts to business due to existing curb -cuts and parking. Trail access to the Northeast Texas Trail, topography, and access to the Market Square Farmers Market were also considerations. Main Street The current configuration of Main Street is two north -bound lanes with: • Sidewalks on both sides of the street. • Parallel parking on the east side of the street between Price Street and Houston Street. • Front-end angled parking around the square. • Parallel parking on the east side of the street between Grand Avenue and Austin Avenue. • Parallel parking on the east side of the street between Austin Avenue and Sherman Street. The proposed retrofit for Main Street includes: 0 Bulbouts at each intersection and where appropriate along the corridor.
