Enhancing 35th Ave: A Project for Safer Pedestrian and Bicycle Access

The HSIP8 project on 35th Ave aims to significantly improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists from East 12th St to I-580. Addressing community requests, especially in high-demand areas with unsafe vehicular speeds, the plan includes the installation of upgraded crosswalks, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, and dedicated Class II bicycle lanes. Target completion is set for May 2021, with a total budget of $2,903,800. This project seeks to enhance traffic flow, reduce accidents, and promote economic growth through better movement of goods and people.
