The Franklin Street Quick-Build Project construction is now complete! Improvements were installed along the corridor that focus on pedestrian safety at the intersections, where vehicle turning speeds and potential conflicts between people driving and people walking are highest. These improvements include slow-turn wedges, daylighting, painted safety zones, advanced limit lines, and no right-turn on red restrictions.
The project team will evaluate the impacts of the Project this Spring and determine whether the changes effectively respond to issues identified in the planning phase, including vehicle speeds, close calls between vehicles and pedestrians, and driver yielding behavior. Modifications to the initial design can be made in response to the results of the evaluation. Stay tuned for another update this Spring with results from the evaluation.
