10th Street and 11th Street Frontage Lanes
Project Description
10th Street and 11th Street previously had two travel lanes, one bike lane, and parking on both sides of a one-way street. This project keeps the two travel lanes and two curbside parking lanes. But we have made changes to the bike lane and intersections. A concrete curb was added to the outside of the bike lane, including at driveways. Local traffic accessing the parking and driveways now enter the bike lane at the beginning of each block, and exit at the end of the block. This new bike lane is a “frontage lane” for local access only.
At intersections, the project will install concrete islands near the corners that serve several purposes. These concrete islands would slow turning drivers. As a result, this can help create safer crossings for walkers, rollers, and bike riders. They would also help guide driver access to the frontage lane and driveways. Lastly, at bus stops, the concrete islands will serve as a location to wait for and board the bus.
