This was e�idenced in the 1970 study �onducted by the City of San Diego, - e'Pedestrian Crosswa�� Study.er The requested crosswalk would p�ysically cross _four lanes of �traf f�c which is.. ---. .-- traveling at approximately 40 M.P.I�. This would require a vehicle stopping distance of 130 feet, or a sight distance of 160 � feet fron� the point of cro�sing. This sight distance would be requixed on both sides of the s�reeto This would equate to ' approxianately 7 parking spaces ox lengths on either approach to the c��ssswalk. Th.ere are three pos�ible alternatives � available. 1) Deny the request for a mid- block crosswalk and maintain the status quo. 2) Approve the request f or a m�.d-block crosswalk with certain conditions. An estimated cost for installation only of the flashers would begin around $ 8500.00. 3� Deny the mid-�block crosswalk and suggest �that the applicant investigate the construction of an underground/overhead pa�ssage between the buildings on either s�de of Batavia Street. Donald �renn was present and voiced the following concerns: 1) Existing plant layout reduces the crossing to the minimum number possible. 2) Plant operations requ�re pedestria�s to c�o�� between the buildings on either side of �atavia S�t. 3) Pedest��.an crossings can be contained at a common point.
