Note: The schematic road cross sections were developed only for rough cost estimate purpos-
es. They are not intended as final design. Road, median and parkway widths and vertical eleva-
tions will vary at the final design phase. Design and grading elevations of the site topography
will determine the specific road design solution during the final engineering design phase.
