Project Summary

The project provides safety enhancements for drivers and pedestrians along Highland Avenue between Division Street and E. 8th Street. Improvements include enhanced crosswalks with pedestrian refuge islands and high intensity signing and striping; pedestrian curb ramps for ADA compliance; new street lights; and traffic calming measures such as corner bulb-outs and a “road diet” converting four travel lanes to two travel lanes with protected left turn lanes at intersections, raised islands midblock and replacement of parallel parking with angle parking on the east side of the street.
