About the Project:
The purpose of this project is to address the aging infrastructure and improve traffic flow through this vital corridor. This project will improve safety at key intersections, replace deteriorating pavement and outdating traffic signals, upgrade curb ramps, sidewalks and crossings, improve drainage and storm sewer systems, and provide consistent bike and pedestrian connections throughout the corridor. Construction is tentatively scheduled for 2031 and 2032.
