Street Maintenance Project - Driving Park, Emerson Street, Jay Street

Project Description

This project included pavement milling and resurfacing, accessible curb ramp upgrades, some curb and sidewalk replacement, pavement markings, and repair of manholes, receiving basins, and water valve castings.  The existing traffic signal at the Jay Street and Glide Street intersection were replaced with a 4-way stop.  

This project is complete.

Project Background

The Final Design Report was completed in May of 2020 and a Parking Study was completed in August of 2020 in support of the Final Design Report.  The parking study was developed to provide information on the efficiency and utilization of existing on-street parking and to evaluate the effects of modifications to on-street parking within the project limits on Emerson Street and Jay Street to include bike lanes.

The Final Design Report and the Parking Study are available in the project documents below.
