About the Project
As
part of the Street Transportation Department’s core mission, we strive to
improve the City’s roadways to create a safe and efficient transportation
network.
The Street
Transportation Department will be conducting a pilot test to evaluate a
proposed traffic lane change on Osborn Road from 19th to 15th Avenues from
February 10 through February 14, 2020. Traffic barricades will close the
eastbound curb lane to simulate what effects the removal of a vehicle lane
would have on traffic flow and safety.
This
temporary closure will simulate a proposed change to reduce one eastbound vehicle
lane and add bicycle lanes in both directions. This modification could have
traffic calming and safety benefits. The bicycle lanes would add space between
pedestrians and vehicles and the narrowed lanes could reduce speed and help
guide traffic.
Upon
completion of the pilot study, the Street Transportation Department will
evaluate its findings as well as community feedback. A decision on permanent
lane configurations will be published to this project webpage.

you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out to Nicolas
Santiago, Traffic Engineer, at 602-495-7542.
