Between Hummer/Heritage and Markham Street, a widening to 6 lanes would be required that is identical to Alternative 2, with the exact
same impacts including the removal of the Service Drives in this section. West of Hummer/Heritage, LRT is already six lanes and no
improvements are required except for an additional (dual) eastbound left turn lane in the existing median.
No new pavement is required on either street and additional pavement on LRT can be used for additional transportation amenities.
Underutilized properties in this area may be good candidates for a local transit center .
1. The apartments at Wadsworth Court will also have right-in/right out access to Little River Turnpike; however, an access could be
developed on the north end of the complex that would provide access to Medford Drive and the signal at Little River Turnpike (see inset).
2. East of Markham Street, Little River Turnpike becomes a one-way pair, with 3 westbound lanes on existing Little River Turnpike and 3
eastbound lanes on Mchwhorter / John Marr Drive. Some ROW/property impacts would occur at the LRT/Markham Street intersection
and along the curve that connects Markham Street to McWhorter Place.
