Complete Streets is a transportation infrastructure approach that designs streets for all users, not just cars. The MobilityWorks 2.0 program continues JTA’s implementation of Complete Streets across the region.
The Merrill Road Complete Streets project consists of but is not limited to pedestrian safety and aesthetic improvements, including new crosswalks, connecting sidewalk gaps, and bike lanes. The project will also include safety improvements at the Townsend Blvd/Merrill Road intersection including a concrete median to eliminate cross-lane movements, elimination of access driveways that are too close to the intersection, and to replace the existing intersection signalization with an upgraded traffic signal system that meets the current standards.
