Considerations and Design Constraints
• Local Roadway Safety
Plan identified as
priority corridor (3 FSI,
2010 – 2024)
• Speed and Volume
• FLM Connection from
E-Line to job centers
and network
Context Sensitive
Level of protection
• Minimize Parking Loss
• Aim to maintain travel
lanes
• Create adequate
space for Bikes and
Pedestrians
Right of Way
Tradeoffs
• Paint and Post
construction marginally
cheaper to build than
Concrete median
• Paint and Post Lifecyle
cost is expensive (material,
staff costs, maintenance
and aesthetics )
Construction and
Maintenance Costs
Funding Constraints
• Grant Funded Project with constrained timeline. Funds Expire if not spent by December 31, 2025.

Protected Bicycle Lane
Concrete barriers will be installed to
create a protected bike lane on 26th St
from Olympic Blvd to Broadway,
eventually forming a connected
network to the future Broadway
protected bike lanes from 5th to 26th
and to the Expo Bike Path.
Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
Traffic signal timing adjustments such
as an LPI will be implemented at
signalized intersections to:
• Let pedestrians enter intersection
a few seconds before vehicles.
• establish pedestrian their
presence in the crosswalk
• Improve visibility and yielding
compliance.

PROJECT ELEMENTS
Bike Box & Turn Restrictions
A bike box will be installed on 26th St
and Broadway for northbound travel
• Give bikes a head start through the
intersection while drivers wait
behind the stop line.
• Improve visibility
• Avoids right hook-type crashes.
• Restrict vehicles from turning right
on red at the southeast corner.
