The diagram delineates the planned enhancements to Foster Road, specifically between SE 84th and 85th Avenue.
The proposed modifications aim to facilitate pedestrian and cyclist safety while improving the overall aesthetic environment of the road.
Currently, Foster Road is characterized by narrow sidewalks, no greenery, and parking on both sides, which limits pedestrian movement and presents potential safety hazards. The existing layout comprises travel lanes for motor vehicles and a center turn lane, with a pedestrian crossing that lacks visibility and accessibility.
The proposed changes involve widening the sidewalks and incorporating street trees to enhance the visual appeal and comfort for pedestrians. Additionally, a new pedestrian crossing will be established near the commencement of Foster Road, thereby increasing safety. Importantly, dedicated bicycle lanes will be created, allowing safe passage for cyclists. Furthermore, parking will be restricted to one side of the road, thereby optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion.
