Study Overview | Resumen del estudio
This corridor stretches from 90th Street on the west to Meridian Road on the east with a project influence area extending one-half mile around the existing roadway. The MCDOT Active Transportation Plan 2018 identified pedestrian and bicycle gaps on Broadway Road.
The purpose of the Corridor Improvement Study is to address pedestrian and bicycle needs in the area which were previously identified in the Active Transportation Plan. The study will examine ADA compliance, existing and future development, roadway capacity, drainage, and environmental considerations. and environmental considerations.
This is a long range transportation study identifying potential improvements along the corridor. Funding for construction and implementation timelines will be determined at a later date outside of this study effort.
