Putting People First

Pardon the construction as North Avondale Road and East College Avenue undergo a major transformation to create a more walkable, bikeable, safe and attractive corridor that will connect the community and encourage downtown development.

The project spans from Sams Crossing to Ashton Place and includes a landscape buffer, center median, pedestrian/bike crossings, a reduction in the lanes from five lanes to three, road repaving and restriping, and replaced and upgraded traffic signals (see details below in the Features section).

The new design will be more efficient, attractive, safer and more accessible for cyclists and walkers. Creating a better place means better opportunities, and research shows that changing the corridor from a place that people drive through, to one that they drive to, will improve economic vitality for local businesses.
