  • Community Priorities Key Themes From First Public Workshop

    Pedestrian improvements throughout the corridor

    Traffic calming

    Gateway treatments at Oak Lawn & Douglas

    Minimize loss of on-street parking

  • Conceptual Design Stage

    • Focus on overall street design concept and general location of priority design elements/features

    • No specific styles, fixtures or materials selected

    • Rough cost estimates to represent allocation of resources to primary design elements

  • Two Conceptual Design Options 4-Lane Option 3-Lane Option

    Improvements spread between Oak Lawn & Douglas

    Improvements focused between Knight and Reagan

    • Gateway enhancements @ Oak Lawn & Douglas

    • Only Continental crosswalks @ Oak Lawn & Douglas

    • Spot repair of existing sidewalks, ADA ramps, redundant curb cut closures

    • Continuous sidewalk widening, curb reconstruction, ADA ramps, redundant curb cut closures

    • Limited landscaping, seating, mini plazas where space allows

    • Continuous landscape enhancement, mini plazas

    • Continental crosswalks at intersections • Continuous road resurfacing, restriping & Continental crosswalks at intersections

    • Decorative paving and bump-outs @ Knight, Throckmorton & Reagan

    • Decorative paving and bump-outs @ Throckmorton & Reagan

    • Pedestrian lighting • Limited pedestrian lighting

    • Library mini plaza • Library mini plaza

  • Signalizing Intersections

    Requested locations: Knight and Reagan

    Considerations: Signals at staggered intersections are inherently

    inefficient – could cause drivers to try to beat the light

    Warrant study necessary

    Cost of installation per intersection - $200,000

    Not recommended by staff Maintain existing rectangular rapid flashing signals for

    pedestrian safety

  • Hawk Signals

    Requested location: Reagan

    Considerations:

    Hawk signals are designed for mid-block situations

    They can pose safety concerns if installed at intersections

    Not recommended by staff

    Recommend existing rectangular rapid flashing signals and flashing buttons along crosswalk
