Master Street Plan: Talley Road is shown as a Local Street and Colonel Glenn Road is shown as a Principal Arterial on the Master Street Plan. The primary function of a Local Street is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by nonresidential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as "Commercial Streets". A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. A Principal Arterial is to serve thorough traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Colonel Glenn Road since it is an Arterial. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. BICYCLE PLAN: A Class II Bike Lane is shown along Colonel Glenn Road. Bike Lanes provide a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles. E.
