The figure illustrates some suggested modifications to improve Foster Road which lies between SE 84th and 85th Avenue.
Overall, the diagram suggests widening the sidewalks, adding a new pedestrian crossing and bicycle lanes on both sides, planting many street trees, and adding a lane for buses. This new road plan seems to be greener and more pedestrian friendly.
In the new plan, the sidewalks are considerably wider which allows planting of numerous street trees on both sides. Moreover, a crossing is added. Collectively, these changes might make the road safer and more pleasant for pedestrians.
On both sides, adding a bicycle lane is also proposed, along with a bus lane in the middle. While this may lead to narrower car lanes, the safety of cyclers would improve dramatically, and this may also encourage more people to use the greener, more active method of transport to cull down carbon dioxide emissions.
