Project Description: |
The intent of the project is to maximize mobility and access to existing 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 and bicyclists will be able to utilize the upgraded sidewalks, shared use paths and trail connections to negotiate the entire corridor and intersections.

The project includes widening eastbound 119th Street to complete a six-lane divided thoroughfare throughout the half mile corridor. The intersections at Nall Avenue and Roe Avenue will be improved to include dual left turn lanes. The project will also include a new shared use path along the south side of 119th Street and connect to other pedestrian and bike facilities along Nall Avenue. The project will 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.
