The proposed improvements will reduce conflicts and sight obstruction hazards along the corridor making it safer for all users in accordance with the City’s Vision Zero initiative while maintaining the existing roadway’s level of service.

• Improved bicycle connectivity with proposed dedicated on-road bicycle lanes with pavement messaging.
• Green Colored Pavement in bicycle/motor vehicle conflict areas.
• Center two-way left turn lane to queue vehicles outside the through lanes.
• Special Emphasis Crosswalks with push button activated, Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons.
• Brick pavers Pedestrian Refuge Islands with yellow paint and vertical tubular markers.
• ADA pedestrian ramps.
