Standards for collector arterials are as follows:

A. Function. To provide traffic movement within smaller areas or neighborhoods by collecting and distributing traffic from primary and secondary arterials to access or residential streets; these streets are located where the traffic volume is increased by the needs of nonresidential land uses or areas of high population densities where primary and secondary arterial service is unavailable;

B. Right-of-Way. Sixty feet minimum, with 66 feet desirable;

C. Driving Lanes. Forty feet minimum pavement width, with 44 feet width desirable; eight-foot parking lanes on both sides are allowed;

D. Design Standard. Concrete curbs and gutters and storm drainage to be provided. Curb cuts to vegetated LID facilities are permitted where feasible. “Feasible” means the design criteria, limitations, and infeasibility criteria for each LID BMP as described in the Ecology Manual;

E. Median. None required;

F. Sidewalks. Five-foot-wide minimum sidewalks on both sides;

G. Access Conditions. Intersections at grade with direct access to adjacent property;

H. Traffic Features. Traffic control measures as warranted, but not to encourage traffic through the neighborhood;

I. Planning Features. Should be located only where a minimum of disruption to the residential uses will occur, if possible; collectors are located no closer than a quarter of a mile from all other arterials. [Ord. 2017-03-009 § 2; Code 1980 at § 11.44.010].
