Cordova - DDNA proposal

Cordova Road - proposal from the DDNA


Having reviewed the situation on the ground, and taking into account the previously expressed concerns from the surrounding neighborhoods, and noting some of the problems alluded to in the city's proposal, the DDNA has the following recommendations:

  1. Place sidewalks on both sides of Cordova from the west end of the section under consideration, up to Galisteo (the rose park).
  2. Place sidewalks on the north side of Cordova from Galisteo to Old Pecos Trail, with spurs to reach bus stops just north of Cordova on side streets.
  3. In view of the fact that along some sections there is not enough space in the existing right-of-way, or construction is difficult (see detailed descriptions), we should take this opportunity to reduce the north side of Cordova (westbound) between Old Pecos Trail and Galisteo to one lane. (this would reduce construction cost of the project, as well as save 21K in land-acquisition costs.)

On a slightly longer timescale, and under project headings other than just 'sidewalks', one would proceed and go for the following items:

  1. Reworking of the Cordova-Galisteo intersection (the rose park)
  2. Islands, left-turn lanes and single lanes on the Galisteo-Luisa stretch.
  3. Bike lanes - on Cordova, or perhaps divert bike traffic to Barcelona
  4. ...any other?, like generic traffic calming measures near the shopping centers?
