About

This intersection is identified as having a higher than normal frequency or severity of crashes. To address safety we will be adding dedicated turn lanes, signals and lighting. As part of the project we will be installing ADA compliant sidewalk, curbs and pedestrian crossings. 

We are planning to:

  • Add left turn lanes on 54th Street.

  • Upgrade signals to add a dedicated turn light for the new turn lanes, this will allow cars to turn safely.

  • Update signal timing to allow pedestrians to cross during a dedicated walk phase.   

  • Update lighting at intersection for better visibility.

  • Update signal and install ADA compliant curb ramps to improve accessibility.
