Will large vehicles be able to make the corners for side streets and driveways when the construction is complete?

Yes, turning radiuses were evaluated in the early stages of the design. There are fairly strict requirements from ODOT for the highway to allow large trucks to be able to enter and exit onto side streets. These were designed to allow firetrucks, school buses, box trucks, and semi-trucks ingress and egress. City staff visited businesses with heavy large vehicle traffic to ensure we weren't missing any vehicle types that frequent their businesses. Their comments and feedback were included in the design.

The majority of the driveways will stay the same width, with a few exceptions. All driveways will be in compliance with the Access Management Plan for Highway 101 in Downtown Florence that was approved by the City and ODOT in 2002. There were some driveways that were outlined to be removed in the Plan that will remain due to the current nature of the corridor. Again, over the past several years staff have reached out to property owners to discuss their access off the highway, whether they were to change or remain the same.
