This project will address safety concerns at the intersection of Egan Drive and Yandukin Drive (E-Y) in Juneau, Alaska. The intersection is a critical link for the city of Juneau, providing the only connection between the Mendenhall Valley, the Lemon Creek area, and downtown Juneau.
The grant will fund two project components:
1) design and construction of a Partial Access Signalized Intersection with an at-grade pedestrian crossing and
2) an extension of Glacier Lemon Spur to provide an alternate connection to Egan.
The project is designed to enhance transportation safety and route mobility for all users, is a direct outcome of the recommendations stemming from the Juneau Douglas Egan Yandukin Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study. This study, accessible here, serves as the foundational basis for the project.
