  • Installation of 15 new traffic signals with pedestrian countdown timers, emergency pre-emption system, and optimized signal timing
  • Installation of concrete bump outs at corners with ADA handicap curb ramps and high visibility crosswalks
  • Addition of 15 rain gardens and drainage improvements to capture stormwater and help reduce the City’s flooding
  • Replacement of century-old water mains and service lines to new valve boxes at the curb
  • Installation of conduit for an electrical microgrid and fiber optic cabling
  • Refurbishment of all existing street lights with more efficient lighting fixtures
  • Addition of Class II unprotected bicycle lanes from Observer Highway to 8thStreet
  • Creation of dedicated commercial loading zones

The scope of the project improvements is limited to the roadway from curb to curb. With the exception of corners and improved lighting, the project will not include replacement of sidewalks or street furniture.
