CLEVELAND
AVENUE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS (PID108642)
DESCRIPTION
AND BENEFITS:
The project includes
pedestrian improvements at seven intersections along Cleveland Avenue: Camden
Avenue, E. 19th 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.
