Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The Federal Boulevard Pedestrian Safety Improvements project is to design and construct pedestrian improvements within one block of Federal Boulevard between W. 23rd Ave and W. 27th Ave. The project is to address uncomfortable and dangerous crossings for pedestrians at both controlled and uncontrolled intersections, inconsistent pedestrian lighting, substandard bus stop amenities, speeding vehicles, limited Business Improvement District pedestrian amenities, and a car-centric environment in a high pedestrian use area. The pedestrian safety improvements planned for the Federal Boulevard corridor may include but are not limited to improvements to intersections throughout the corridor, a pedestrian hybrid beacon or other warranted crossings at the 25th Avenue and Federal Blvd. intersection, a shared street or shared street elements on 25th Avenue between Federal Boulevard and Eliot Street, reconstruction of the intersection and signal at 26th Avenue, and other corridor-wide pedestrian-focused improvements.
The project will need these two TEs in order to remove the existing sidewalk, rework the bus stop for that intersection and along ROW, repave a new sidewalk and install landscaping as needed. The new sidewalk will still be within right-of-way.
