Within the current plan set, the intersections of Puma Street and `Street H' with Alpine Drive are deficient in pedestrian safety. The Street H intersection is a future intersection.

City Staff has ordered a Technical Memorandum from the Toole Group for an obiective analysis on appropriate pedestrian crossings. Staff has confidence in this team to provide proper guidance on this issue. These crossings will need to be reflected on an amended Preliminary Plat at the time of Final Plat for Phase 1. The City reserves the rizht in Preliminary Plat approval to require the appropriate scale pedestrian crossing, as determined by the City.
