Dear Ms. Yaniglos,
.-W/
Thank you for the opportunity to review SDP201000055, Old Trail Village Block 4 - Final. JAUNT
has the following advisory comments related to access to public transportation within and
around this site, especially for people with disabilities.
• The neighborhood's gridded street network is helpful for efficient vehicle routing. Most
units can be accessed from the perimeter streets.
• The internal road may be too tight for larger JAUNT vehicles to navigate without
backing. Residents of internal units requiring JAUNT service might have to meet the bus
on Golf Drive. The proposed sidewalks will facilitate this. A very minor improvement
would be to extend the sidewalk that ends near the accessible parking space and unit #1
around the corner to be more closely aligned with the internal sidewalk between units
#15 and #22.
• The landscaping plan shows a tree in the northwest corner of the site where a future
CG -12 ramp appears to be needed for a crossing of the roundabout. Consider revising
the tree placement to avoid having to remove this tree for the future ramp.
We hope these comments can be considered in revising the plan. Please contact me with any
questions.
