The work will consist of the following: Geometric safety improvements at various intersections, including the elimination of channelized right turn lanes, reduction of corner radii, chicanes, and median refugeislands. Installation of new or ADA upgrades to existing noncompliant sidewalk ramps,driveways, and bus stops within the project limits. Signing and pavement marking upgrades to enhance pedestrian safety, including but not limited to, high visibility continental crosswalk, installation of white edge linesfor lane width reductions, reduction of the posted speed limit signs from 40 MPH to 35MPH, and hardened centerlines. New drainage structures and pipes where existing drainage structures are impacted byproposed geometric improvements. Cleaning of existing inlets and pipes within the project limits. Installation of a new traffic signal. Reconstruction of existing traffic signals. Signal modifications and relocation of APC/CPS. Installation of new Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB) with pedestrian refuge median islands at 4 locations. Installation of advance overhead “Pedestrian Area” flasher signs, otherwise known as pedestrian Hazard Identification Beacons (HIB’s), just beyond both ends of the project limits. Relocation of two street lights along the I-495 off-ramp (Ramp 2) where ramp widening is proposed. Relocation of two utility poles and one new pole to be completed by others at Wheeler Road intersection.
