DESCRIPTION AND BENEFITS:

The project includes pedestrian improvements at seven intersections along Cleveland Avenue: Camden Avenue, E. 19^th Avenue, Kenmore Road, Republic Avenue, Lakeview Avenue, Agler Road, and Lehner Road. Improvements consist of the installation of enhanced crosswalk markings, the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB’s) or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB’s) at each intersection and installation of new ADA-compliant curb ramps. Minimal pavement resurfacing is required where enhanced crosswalks are being installed and signage/striping will be updated to accommodate these improvements.
