- Meets County's Road Design Standards, with the exception of the southern-most curve, which would need a lower speed limit (25 mph) than the rest of the street (35 mph).
|
- Provides County-standard bicycle and pedestrian facilities (concept shows buffered bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the street).
|
- Provides non-standard bike and pedestrian facilities (concept shows uphill 10-foot wide multiuse path and downhill buffered bike lane and sidewalk).

|
- Similar maintenance and anti-icing chemical treatment as currently required.
|
- Street and bridge would have a 10% grade (slope), slightly steeper than the existing Saltzman Road alignment due to the greater elevation difference between Bayonne Lane and Laidlaw Road with this alignment.
|
- The improved street would have an 8.5% grade (slope), similar to the existing Saltzman Road.
|
