Existing Conditions10th Street NE is a two-lane paved street of greatly varying width and gaps in usage. The roadway services schools, churches, and large residential communities. Pedestrians use this corridor to navigate to multiple schools, churches, and nearby pubic bus routes. The pedestrian route consists of intermittent sidewalks and 1-foot wide shoulders. Inconsistent stormwater conveyance results in culverts clogged with sediment. The bicycle route is inconsistent and varying with no shoulder and unmarked shoulders. Illumination is partial and primarily from adjacent streets. The existing pavement section has no base course under the asphalt leading to quickly decreasing pavement life. Seasonal freeze and thaw patterns will continue to break down the asphalt surface at an accelerated rate and become a high-cost maintenance issue in the near future. Furthermore, illegal street/shoulder parking commonly occurs adjacet to the Eastmont Jr High School. |

Summary of Improvements
- Vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists will benefit in safety by having more of a delineated predictable corridor. Pedestrians, in particular school-age children, will be able to walk and bicycle along the entire corridor with high visibility (day and night). The City will benefit by reducing stormwater maintenance and roadway patching.
Description of Improvements
This project will fill gaps and make the entire corridor consistent for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and stormwater collection. Travel lanes will be reduced to 11-feet for traffic calming effects and additional width will be created for bicycle lanes or shoulders in both directions. Outside of the bike lanes existing sidewalk gaps will be filled to complete an obstruction free pedestrian path. The entire length of the corridor. The high use pedestrian crossing at the Grover Place intersection will include a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) system. Illumination will be completed along the corridor so all intersections are illuminated, and pedestrians can be better seen at night. Stormwater will be collected and conveyed through an underground system and treated in either an underground system or at an offsite location for flow control and treatment. Please note that this project has the design and right of way phases funded through a Public Works Board pre-construction loan. In addition, the City has secured a $1,683,159 STBG federal grant through the local MPO for construction funding. Finally, the Eastmont School District has donated right of way to accomodate proper angle street parking adajcent to the Eastmont Jr High.
