The proposed project will accomplish improved travel and safety conditions for vehicular traffic (general motorists and industrial traffic), through the provision of wider travel lanes/shoulders and a center turning lane. In addition, the project solves the significant safety concerns for bicyclists and pedestrians through widened paved shoulders that provide on-street accommodations for bicyclists, and a grade separated bicycle and pedestrian trail on the south side. These accommodations will provide multimodal connections to the neighborhoods within proximity to the corridor, allowing for significant safety and mobility improvements and provide children, elderly, disabled, and those unable to drive a means to access surrounding areas, community amenities, shopping, and schools. It will also enhance the asthetics of the corridor, creating a sense of place, and help drive future residential and economic development along the corridor.
