Project Background

This stretch of N. Van Buren Street was nominated by a member of the public for consideration by the Neighborhood Complete Streets program and advanced to public engagement by the Neighborhood Complete Streets Commission due to:

  • Lack of complete sidewalk
  • Crash history
  • Vehicle and bike traffic volumes
  • Proximity to transit, parks, and off-street trails

Project Goals

  • Complete the missing sidewalk infrastructure to provide a safe and accessible pedestrian route.
  • Utilize the existing, County-owned right of way while balancing priorities to achieve a complete street for all who travel on N. Van Buren Street.
