Summary of Improvements

Description of Improvements

The proposed project would install pedestrian facilities on the south side corners with curb, gutter and ADA ramps. The signal would provide for both traffic movements and protected pedestrian crossings which would tie the south neighborhoods into the regional pathway system.
