Background
A neighborhood greenway is a type of bicycle facility on a low speed, low volume neighborhood street that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists. For more information on neighborhood greenways, also known as bicycle boulevards, visit the Urban Bikeway Design Guide from the National Association of City Transportation Officials.
Design and construction of the Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Greenway is divided into two phases:
- Phase One: Howard St. to Sherman St.
- Phase Two: Sherman St. to Perry St.
Phase One: Howard St. to Sherman St.
Phase One of the Pacific Avenue Greenway, which runs along Pacific Avenue between Howard Street and Sherman Street, is already planned and funded. It is designed to include two new traffic signals with audible pedestrian countdown signals at the Division/Pacific and Browne/Pacific intersections, ADA curb ramp retrofits, and curb bump outs at select intersections. This phase of the greenway is anticipated to include the following:
- Approximately 3,750 feet of bicycle boulevard
- Way finding signage and markings
- Approximately 700 feet of buffered bike lanes
- Approximately 200 feet of green pavement markings
- Traffic signals at Division/Pacific and Browne/Pacific
