Project Timeline
The project will move through planning, public engagement, design development, environmental review, and installation. After installation, the improvements will remain in place for at least one year to allow for evaluation of safety and mobility outcomes.
Community Engagement
Public input is central to this project. A public workshop will be held during the conceptual design phase, and updates will be shared at key milestones (30%, 60%, and 90% design). Community members will have opportunities to review designs, provide feedback, and participate in surveys before and after installation.
Evaluation
Before and after data will be collected to measure changes in vehicle speeds, traffic operations, and user experience. The City will evaluate the effectiveness of the improvements to inform future decisions about permanent upgrades.
