Description
Full reconstruction of Taylor Avenue with the addition of a large shared use bike/ped path. Interim bike lanes added to 12th Street between Pine Street and Taylor Avenue to create a safe, comfortable bicycle and pedestrian route across the Heights.
Why This Project?
Establish Pine Street to Taylor Avenue as the safe, comfortable route across the Heights for people walking and biking. Taylor Avenue is redesigned with a protected bike/ped shared use path and one-way westbound vehicle traffic. This will be a safer and more comfortable east/west route for May Street elementary school students to avoid challenging crossing on May Street.
