About
This project will improve the safety of Washington Avenue from Grays Ferry Avenue to 4th Street. It responds to what the City has heard from the community since 2013 and offers the opportunity to:
- Create a smoother street.
- Design travel lanes that match the changing corridor.
- Decrease weaving, speeding, and aggressive driving.
The project will include both repaving and design improvements. These improvements will:
- Create safer and shorter pedestrian crossings.
- Keep bicyclists safer by separating them from moving traffic.
- Preserve space for trucks and buses to turn.
- Reduce instances of illegal parking, such as double parking, and generally improve parking and loading operations.
