In order to effectively utilize this widened section, it will be necessary to extend the subject project approxi- mately 300 feet northerly of Colorado Avenue on the east side of Cloverfield Boulevard only, in order to provide for a transition section for northbound traffic as shown on the attached sketch. From_center line to new curb line southerly of Colorado Avenue will be 30 feet. From center line to existing curb line northerly of Co1~ ado Avenue is 20 feet, allowing for two 10-foot lanes. If a transition section is not provided, the restricted width north of Colorado Avenue will necessitate restricting the northbound roadway south of Colorado to two lanes (one of which would be blocked by a left turning vehicle) plus a curb lane restricted to either parking or "right turn only". Since a large left turn movement at this intersection is anticipated, through traffic would be restricted to one lane. If a transition section is included, we can provide a left turn pocltet for northbound traffic, plus two through north- bound lanes.
