- Removes ADA barriers
Description of Improvements
Pedestrian crossings on multi-lane, large volume, and higher speed roadways are encouraged to include enhanced safety crossing features. Absent a signalized intersection or pedestrian bridge, enhancement ideas can include refuge islands, activated flashing beacons (RRFB and HAWK systems). Two locations--one at Fryelands Boulevard at the intersection with 152nd Street and the other at at 146th Street SE--have been identified at as candidates for enhanced crossings. For 152nd Street SE, this crossing links neighborhoods directly to the park entrance. For 146th Street, pedestrians walk to and from the shared path to visit a local coffee shop and a few eateries. This location would benefit from an enhanced crossing features.
