This project involves improvements to Atlanta Road from Ridge Road to Fleming Street, including installing raised landscaped medians, multi-use trails and streetscape features.
Benefits of Medians
In urban and suburban areas raised medians:
- provide greater vehicle and pedestrian safety
- reduce turning conflicts and crashes by up to 55%
- provide landscaping and pedestrian refuge
- improve roadway level of service and reduce delays
- eliminate congestion associated with left turn conflicts and clearing crashes
- resulting in minimal business impact and in some cases, can result in improved business
