City staff have worked to determine permissible curb realignments for multiple site plans along this corridor. Additional boulevard space will be added by adhering to latest guidelines for lane widths and by implementing adjustments to dedicated turn lanes, without affecting through lanes or changing any turning regulations. As a result, upcoming redevelopment opportunities will vastly improve existing substandard sidewalks to provide increased accessibility and comfort for pedestrians, and improved safety for all road users.
