Background and History:
The City is reconstructing the Mike's Pike corridor surface improvements with the 2017 utility replacement project. The northeast corner of Cottage Avenue and Mike's Pike currently has a sharp angle for traffic to navigate. This makes for an awkward turning movement onto north bound Mike's Pike. the Transportation Program would like to increase that radius so it is not such a tight corner and make it safer for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Key Considerations:
By purchasing the right of way the turning radius would be increased making it safer for pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
Community Involvement:
Safer travel for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
