EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: 1 . The existing facility has developed haphazardly from a former two lane county road and exists at a plus or minus 20 ft. width throughout its length. That portion between University and Mabelvale Road will be new construction on new alignment. No right-of-way exists through this area. 2. The proposed ROW alignment between University and Mabelvale Road will require removal of a portion of the Hudson Marine Company main building, a portion of the south parking area of Tri-City Used Car Parking lot; and removal of a single family frame house at 6419 Mabelvale Road. 3. Approximately sixty percent of the right-of-way from Mabelvale West to Hindman Park exists as required by the Master Street Plan; secured as a part of subdivisions developed on both sides of the street. There are areas where additional right- of-way will be required. 4. The existing roadway, from Mabelvale West to Hindman Park is a low type pavement with unimproved horizontal and vertical alignment. 5. There presently exists traffic signals at the intersection of 65th and University. There is no existing traffic control signal at the intersection of Mabelvale and Blount Road. 6. Presently there exists on both sides of the proposed alignment between University and Mabelvale Pike, commercial and residential use. There is single family residential use on both sides of the proposed improvements, from Mabelvale to Hindman Park. 7. There exists no special drainage problem throughout the length tbe of the proposed improvement except at the immediate west end because of the proximity of the flood plain which will be addressed under special design considerations. B. PROPOSED SITE CONDITIONS: 1 . Blount Road Improvements are Phase I , of plans by the City of Little Rock (Master Street Plan) to construct an extension of 65th Street, from University to Highway 5. The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department have developed plans for the balance of the improvements which are identified as Project C-60-36. Phase I Improvements are proposed to be a four lane high type arterial extension of 65th Street, from University to Mabelvale Road, and the balance two lanes of future four lane street, from Mabelvale Road to Caroline Street-at Hindman Park. The total first phased improvement involve approximately .8 mile of major reconstruction. 3 2. It will be necessary to acquire additional right-of-way on the / south side of the project between Mabelvale Road and Hindman Park. Eighty feet of right-of-way will be required for that portion from University Avenue to Mabelvale Pike. 3. It will be necessary to reconstruct the intersection of University and 65th Street, as well as existing traffic control devices , to provide a four way intersection rather than the existing three way intersection. It may also be necessary to signalize the intersection of Blount Road and Mabelvale Road. 4. Several years ago a curve (to the north) alignment was adopted between University and Mabelvale Road and building permits were issued to adjacent businesses based on the curved alignment. 5. Standard residential collector street lighting will be installed on that portion of the improvements from Mabelvale Road west to the Park. Standard arterial street lighting will be installed on that portion between University Avenue and Mabelvale Pike. C 3 8
