City of Riverside Neighborhood Safety Investment Project Applicant: Riverside
Riverside , California
SS4A Award: $7,448,000
Project Description
The City of Riverside is awarded $7.4
million in funding to implement safety
improvements at 4 of the 6 intersections
on its high-injury network. Crash data
analysis highlights that the city
experiences more total traffic fatalities,
and more per capita traffic fatalities, than
any other city in the county, including
pedestrian fatalities. Additionally, 21% of
the City’s crashes involve motorist
violation of pedestrian/bicyclist right-of-
way. The project constructs 0.6 miles of
new sidewalk to address pedestrian gaps,
adds 16.2 miles of new Class I, II, and III
bike lanes, and implements intersection improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks and audible pedestrian push buttons at 85 locations. Improvements also include installing speed humps, a traffic circle, and speed feedback signs as traffic calming treatments in four neighborhoods. All projects are entirely within disadvantaged communities.
The project includes supplemental planning for the Riverside SR-91 Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge Master Plan, a Citywide Intelligent Transportation Systems Master Plan, and a Citywide Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan.
