A. Implement site-specific traffic mitigating measures immediately adjacent to the project such as right- or left-turn lanes, channelization, signalization, signal coordination, signal timing, additional road and/or shoulder widening, and correction of geometric deficiencies which are determined to be necessary based upon information from a traffic or engineering study or other sources. These improvements shall be implemented only to mitigate impacts resulting directly from a proposed project’s traffic on the City street at the entrance/exit to the project or in the affected project area; and/or
B. Projects that cause a City street to be reclassified to an arterial classification or higher classification of arterial shall be subject to the right-of-way requirements of the higher classified road; and/or

1. Participate in road improvements to correct or improve safety concern(s) as directed by the City Engineer; or
2. At the discretion of the City Engineer, the applicant shall comply with all of the items listed below:
a. Hire a professional traffic engineer to evaluate the safety concern and determine appropriate solutions to the problem;
