Grand Avenue is in the northeast corner of the area which, over the past decade, has become a thriving arts and food district. Capitol Elementary is the only school present. There are two parks—University Park and Woodland Parkway—with Hu-O-Te Park lying just outside the area.

The plan will significantly upgrade the city’s aging 5,000-mile street network and have a citywide impact on street needs providing new pavement, increasing maintenance on existing streets, and adding bike lanes, sidewalks and ADA accessible/compliant upgrades. Mobility Projects Program While a portion of the new sidewalk and bicycle facilities commitments will be achieved through the pavement maintenance program and the new and expanded major streets program, the Mobility Improvements Program has allocated 15% of the Street Transportation Department’s T2050 funds. This allocation will be utilized to meet the T2050 commitments to install 135 miles of new sidewalks and 1,080 miles of new bike lanes by 2050. Mobility Projects Purpose The objective is to scope and prioritize sidewalk, bike facility, mid-block crossings, and other improvements that will improve walking and biking to key destinations within and adjacent to the study area. Upon completion of the study, identified and prioritized mobility projects will be considered for inclusion in a 5-Year T2050 Mobility program of projects for design and construction. Ultimately, the goal of the various mobility studies is to develop and recommend mobility solutions that will improve the safety, accessibility, and multimodal connectivity for all users, regardless of age or ability, to places of employment, schools, markets, and recreational opportunities.
