15. Lift a section of road edge
to level the road for pedestrian safety
Road currently slopes steeply to the north and west within the crosswalk area,
increasing vehicle speed and reducing visibility for pedestrians.
Project lifts road
to this desired
grade
16. Which will correct the steeply sloping
and non-compliant midblock crosswalk
17. And implement traffic calming
Add median or pedestrian bulbouts to provide refuge and
shorten the unprotected crossing distance
20. Every better street makes a better city
This project showcases effective coordination between public
agencies, neighborhood associations, and commercial
properties in a project that benefits the whole city.
