Theodore Street will be widened 5.5' on both sides of the roadway to provide a flush, painted median and left-turn lanes at the side streets. The widened and resurfaced roadway will provide two 11-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction and an 11-foot wide flush, painted median (totaling 55 feet E-E). The existing horizontal alignment of the roadway will be maintained with the proposed symmetrical widening. The sidewalk along the north side of Theodore Street will be relocated to 3 feet behind the proposed back-of-curb throughout the majority of the corridor. The 5-foot-wide sidewalk will be shifted to allow for the relocation of utilities and street lighting impacted by the roadway widening. Parkway slopes vary throughout the project limits primarily due to the location of existing and proposed sidewalks. Additional work includes pavement patching, earthwork, intersection improvements including a new traffic signal at Drauden Road, storm sewer installation, curb and gutter removal and replacement, driveway reconstruction, pavement marking, and all other work necessary to complete the improvements as shown in the plans and as described herein.
