Temporary infrastructure at SE 12th Ave and SE Salmon Street. At this location, permanent improvements include concrete traffic separators, marked crosswalks, cross bikes and parking visibility setbacks.
Project Goals
- Replace temporary infrastructure with more resilient permanent materials.
- Increase awareness for people entering a neighborhood greenway from a busier street.
- Improve crossing opportunities for people walking and rolling on select neighborhood greenways.
