Garfield Avenue Complete Streets

Garfield Avenue is a corridor of regional significance serving local and regional motorists in route to commercial and residential neighborhoods, schools, local parks and bordering cities.  The corridor has a dated design that can be enhanced in a manner that considers the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists to improve community access. 

The Garfield Avenue Complete Street Improvement Project is being implemented to enhance pedestrian, bike and motorist safety, improve traffic circulation, address deferred maintenance issues and beautify the corridor.  It entails the installation of a Class I bike path, Class II bike lanes, and Class III bike routes, along with pedestrian improvements and sidewalks, construction of raised median islands, ADA curb ramps, curb and gutter, sidewalk, pedestrian crossing improvements, solar flashing Beacons and re-striping of traffic markings.

Construction activities include the use of heavy equipment, traffic control, lane closures, and will temporarily impact parking.  Some construction activities will impact noise levels, such as during concrete removals. Construction signage will be placed with sufficient time to provide information needed to accommodate parking conditions. 

The construction on Garfield Avenue is about 75% complete with an anticipated completion date at end of June 2024.
