RIGHT-OF-WAY
IMPLEMENTATION
As sites develop along the Shier Rings Road
Corridor, the right-of-way infrastructure
elements will be implemented. The
examples, on this page, show previously
existing conditions and the transformation
as streetscape and infrastructure elements
have been built. The right-of-way section
width along the Shier Rings Road corridor
will be implemented according to the
Thoroughfare Plan, as detailed in the chart
on page 14. Sections on the following
page demonstrate the proposed width
and character elements.
The right-of-way is the portion of land
between the property lines of a street,
parkway, alley or easement dedicated
for use by the public. Typically the right-
of-way parallels the road alignment
but widths may vary to accommodate
additional infrastructure such as medians
or intersections.
The right-of-way can include travel lanes,
medians, parking lanes, curb and gutter or
shoulder, pedestrian and bicycle facilities,
tree lawns. Public and private utilities may
be located within the right-of-way.
The center of the roadway is often (but not
always) at the center of the right-of-way.
Rights-of-way typically range between 50
and 100 feet for most city roads, although
major collector and arterial roadways may
require up to 150 feet (Avery-Muirfield
Drive) or 160 feet (Sawmill Road). Refer to
page 14 for existing and future right-of-
way dimensions for the Shier Rings Road
corridor.
The right-of-way design can have a
significant impact on the look and feel
of a roadway. Individual elements, such
medians or bicycle facilities, have an
impact on the roadway character and
the way a road is experienced. Roadway
corridor character studies examine the
relationship between the public right-of-
way and adjacent development on private
properties.
