Proposed Improvements

Pedestrian benefits: 

• Reconstructed sidewalks and ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps along both sides of the entire corridor 

• Curb extensions at crosswalks adjacent to on-street parking to shorten the pedestrian crossing distances 

• Improved accessibility for people with disabilities 

• Crosswalks at signalized intersections with appropriate crossing times, APS push buttons, and countdown timers 

• Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons at all non-signalized crosswalks   

• Enhanced streetscape (lighting, benches, trees, landscaping, stormwater management, etc.) 

Bicyclist & Micro-mobility benefits: 

• Dedicated bicycle & micro-mobility facilities along the corridor

• Conceptual design elements include: 

  • Separated bicycle lanes at sidewalk level 

  • On-street painted buffered bicycle lanes 

  • Non-buffered bicycle lanes within constrained areas 

Transit benefits: 

• Improved transit amenities including shelters at some bus stops based on boarding counts, improved signage, and dedicated clear zones for access to front/rear doors 

• Dedicated bus pull-out space outside of travel lanes, as space permits 

• Modified bus stop locations that will help improve service 

• Transit signal priority that will help buses progress through signalized intersections 

Vehicular benefits: 

• New pavement structure and high visibility pavement markings and signage 

• New and enhanced traffic signals to improve traffic operations 

• Fewer conflicts with pedestrians, bicyclists, and buses
