The proposed project is located on Hill Street from Poplar Street to Tinsley Street, on Solomon Street from 9th to 3rd Streets, and on 5th Street from Solomon to Taylor Streets (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed project will reduce the number of travel lanes on Hill Street from four lanes to two lanes. Hill Street will be restriped to provide 15 foot wide shred lanes with sharrow pavement markings to accommodate both automobiles and bicycles. The existing angles parking spaces will be restriped from 13 ft to 19 ft in length.
The proposed project is a Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) project which is designed to improve all three project corridors by adding new sidewalks and curb and gutter drainage where necessary. Bump-out curb extensions at intersection corners and mid-block pedestrian crossings will be constructed where appropriate. Resurfacing will be performed where necessary. The project will also add pedestrian level lighting, decorative sign posts, landscaping, street trees, handicap access ramps, bicycle parking racks, and improved markings at street crossings. The project improvements will include amenities such as benches and trash receptacles. All construction will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
