Project Description and Scope of Services:
The project consists of the preparation of a traffic study to investigate the impacts of changing 25th Street from a 4-lane cross section to a 3-lane section from Washington Street to Central Avenue.
The study area is a very narrow 4-lane section with the travel lanes ranging in width from 8.5’ to 10’. Originally expanded as State Road 46 with high traffic volumes, it is now a local minor arterial and has substantially less traffic.
Key items to be included as part of the study are the following: • Traffic counts and capacity analysis • Changes to signal phases and timing plans • Pedestrian and bicyclist facility improvements
The study will be followed by the creation of a striping plan and traffic signal plans to implement the switch from four to three lanes. The traffic signal plans should include revised timings and coordination between the signals on the corridor.
This project will be incorporated into a 2025 asphalt overlay project.
