The two illustrations compare Foster Road between SE 84th and 85th Avenue before and after several improvements were made.
In the “Before” image, the road is wide with two lanes in each direction but lacks designated bicycle lanes and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. The sidewalks are narrow, and there are no trees along the street. Additionally, there is no pedestrian crossing, which might make it difficult for people to cross the road safely.
After the improvements, several changes are noticeable. Firstly, wider sidewalks have been installed, providing more space for pedestrians. Secondly, dedicated bicycle lanes have been added, making the road safer for cyclists. A new pedestrian crossing has also been introduced, allowing people to cross the road more easily. Finally, street trees have been planted along both sides, which enhances the visual appeal of the area and likely improves air quality.
Overall, the modifications have made the street more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly while also making it more aesthetically pleasing.
