In this section, Little River Turnpike is widened to six lanes and the existing service drives on both sides of Little River Turnpike are removed, resulting
in no new right-of-way requirements for the widening.
1. The apartments at Wadsworth Court will have right-in/right out access to Little River Turnpike; however, an access could be developed on the north
end of the complex to provide additional access to Medford Drive and the signal at Little River Turnpike and/or replace direct access (see inset).
2. Full access to the shopping center on the north side of Little River Turnpike is maintained via a mid-block unsignalized crossover in the median
3. The second parcel west of Markham Street is land-locked and would require direct connection to LRT and require U-turn movements unless
interparcel access to the shopping center to the north (which has access to Markham Street) can be provided.
4. Consolidation of access points (and alignment opposite the median break) could reduce the number of direct access points onto LRT.
All of the properties with right-in/right-out access along Little River Turnpike have additional access to Medford Drive or Markham street that have
signalized access to Little River Turnpike. Access to Medford and Markham would be preferred to RIRO access to Little River Turnpike.
