Curb extensions reduce passing on the right, slow speeds of turning motorists, and can also reduce speeding by visually narrowing the travel lanes. They also create more space for people walking and shorten the crossing distance across a street.
No. The curb extensions were installed at intersections, where parking is already prohibited within 15 feet of a crosswalk.
Rapid implementation projects can be easily adjusted by adding, moving, or removing flexible posts as needed. The City is evaluating the project to measure changes and identify any potential issues.
The City is working with the Crisol Corridor Business Improvement District to ensure that basic maintenance like sweeping debris is carried out on a regular basis. The City is responsible for replacing any posts that get knocked down.
Construction was completed in Summer 2020.
