These streets accommodate a variety of land uses, including small-footprint residential and <br /> non-residential uses, as well as large employment and institutional facilities. With block length ranging <br /> from 350'—500', the frequency of streets in this grid pattern functions to distribute traffic in a more even <br /> fashion than its modern counterparts. Local Urban streets can accommodate higher traffic volumes than <br /> their unconnected residential counterparts, based on the frequency of parallel streets that evenly <br /> distributes traffic, rather than consolidating it on fewer higher-functioning roads. <br /> Local Urban Multi-Modal streets include curb and gutter, subsurface storm drainage, and sidewalks along <br /> each side. <br /> INTERCONNECTIVITY <br /> The grid network and short block lengths should be preserved in order to maintain the functionality of this <br /> type of street network. New development utilizing this street type should do so in a similar fashion, with <br /> block lengths not exceeding 500' forming an interconnected network of streets. <br /> MULTI-MODAL/COMPLETE STREET APPLICABILITY <br /> Local Urban Improved streets include sidewalks on each side of the road and crosswalks at all <br /> intersections, providing safe pedestrian access in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act <br /> (ADA). Bicycles are accommodated with 5' bicycle lanes in each direction of vehicular travel. Refer to the <br /> Batesville Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan for appropriate Local Urban streets with this marking, and to <br /> the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Section 9C.04, for specifications on bicycle <br /> lane markings. Future Local Urban Multi-Modal streets not indicated on the Batesville Bicycle & <br /> Pedestrian Master Plan should follow the standards below. <br />
