Project Summary
CCDC is partnering with ACHD to improve the cycling and pedestrian experience between State and Union. CCDC will address improvements between State and Franklin, and ACHD will implement improvements between Franklin and Union. As a result of the collaboration and extensive community and stakeholder outreach, CCDC will deliver on the community’s desire to:
- Expand the citywide bike network by adding protected northbound and southbound bike lanes
- Improve pedestrian safety and accessibility by installing new flashing pedestrian signals at Washington Street and Franklin Street
- Construct accessible sidewalks and pedestrian ramps to accommodate individuals of all abilities
Construction began in January 2025 and is expected to be complete by October 2025.
