)
The project will expand multimodal systems to accommodate automobiles, transit, public safety vehicles, pedestrian and bicycles in order to maximize and increase mobility throughout the corridor. The project will encourage walkability and bicycle access by maintaining and upgrading existing sidewalks and adding bike lanes. These improved facilities will provide connection to existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the corridor and at Tomahawk Creek MetroGreen connecter along 133rd Street. This project also includes widening of the bridges over US-69 to further accommodate traffic, pedestrians and bicycles.

Project Description: |
The intent of the project is to maximize mobility and access to existing and future land uses along the corridor, address system preservation and maintenance needs, provide for alternative transportation modes and improve system performance, efficiency, and safety. The primary users will be motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. Motorists will benefit from the increased capacity and safety of the widened roadway which includes additional through lanes and turn lanes. Pedestrians will be able to utilize the upgraded sidewalks and trail connections to negotiate the entire corridor and intersections. Bicyclists will be able to utilize the new bike lanes to negotiate the entire corridor and intersections.

Scope: |
The project includes widening Antioch Road Avenue from a four-lane divided thoroughfare to a six-lane divided thoroughfare throughout the 2 mile corridor. The existing bridge over US-69 will be widened to accommodate the additional traffic lanes as well as provide for upgraded pedestrian facilities and bike lanes across the bridge. The existing sidewalks along the roadway are anticipated to be reconstructed and upgraded to include connections to other pedestrian facilities along the corridor. The project will continue to provide multimodal systems to accommodate automobiles, transit, public safety vehicles, pedestrian and bicycles in order to maximize mobility throughout the corridor. The project will expand walkability and safety for pedestrians by maintaining and upgrading ADA compliant facilities and crosswalks. The project will improve bicycle access and safety with the addition of bike lanes in each direction.
