11th Street Project Update

The following message was recently received, offering the status of the 11th Street bike lane project that was discussed at the WHCA General Meeting in March 2019.

Hello,

We’re pleased to announce that the 11th Street safety project is proceeding into the design phase. Many thanks to all who participated in meetings and provided input so far.

This project will implement safety improvements on 11th Street between Shepherd and Michaux. The new street configuration will consist of 1 vehicle lane and 1 bike lane in each direction with a center lane for making left turns. A pedestrian island will be constructed at the Nicholson Street hike and bike path, to make it safer for people walking and biking across 11th street, and additional pedestrian island locations are being considered as well.

We are excited to bring these roadway improvements to the community, and we are convinced the new configuration with be safer, more efficient and enjoyable for all road users. Construction is estimated to start in Fall 2020 and we will continue to monitor the corridor’s traffic and safety performance after installation.

Your feedback has been integral to this project and it will remain that way during the next three months of the design phase. We look forward to continuing the dialog.
