2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD STREET GRID Neighborhood streets in Old Shakopee built between 1910 and 1939 fall into this type. Old Shakopee streets typically extend less than a mile from the city center. The street grid is intact, with blocks approximately 380 feet by 380 feet. Blocks typically (but do not always) include a sidewalk with a buffer to the motor vehicle travel lanes. The land uses are predominantly single-family residences with some schools, churches and small businesses. Commercial areas are typically located at local, collector and arterial street intersections. On many streets, alleys provide rear access to parcels, and many homes have garages off these alleys. As a result, there are fewer curb-cuts for driveways. On-street parking is available and used. GRID AND CURVILINEAR STREETS WITH CUL-DE-SACS In these neighborhoods, generally on the edges of Old Shakopee and built between 1940 and 1995 the street grid meets longer curvilinear blocks. These areas are typically 1 to 2 miles from the Downtown. Land uses are predominately single-family homes, multifamily buildings and large commercial lots. Commercial areas are accessed via collector and arterial streets, and sometimes require a circuitous route to be accessed from adjacent residential areas. If sidewalks are present, they may be on one or both sides of the road. On-street parking is available but sparsely used because most homes have driveways. Residential street intersections may be uncontrolled or stop controlled. Pedestrian crossings of arterial streets occur at widely spaced signalized intersections.
