Floribraska Ave (Tampa St to 9th St)

Primary Details

Description

This project provides for multimodal and safety improvements including on-street bicycle lanes.

This project provides for reconfiguring the existing 4-lane undivided roadway to a complete street with two (2) 11-feet travel lanes, a two-way left turn center lane plus an on-road bicycle lane in each direction and enhanced crosswalks at the intersections of both Jefferson St. and Central Avenue.

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.
  • Proposed pedestrian haven Islands to create Right-In/Right Out only on the southern legs of both N. Elmore Ave. and Taliaferro Ave.
  • Proposed bulb-out on the northwest corner of the northern leg of N. Elmore Ave.  Some Sidewalk segment additions.
