The City’s design consultant, CSW/Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group Inc., has started engineering design for the Second Street & Fourth Street Intersection Improvement project. Kimley-Horn Inc., CSW’s subconsultant, will provide the traffic signal design for the project. The project aims to improve pedestrian and bicyclist crossing experience, reduce confusion between drivers navigating the intersection, and connect two regional bicycle routes as well as an important Safe Routes to School connection. The conceptual plan includes creating a “T” intersection so that Fourth Street meets Second Street at a right angle, which would shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians. The consultant team will be considering elements to promote bicycle connectivity and local transit navigability as the project design is further developed.
