Project Overview
The Coffman Street Mobility Improvements project extends from 1st Avenue to 9th Avenue and will become a world-class and truly multi-modal corridor. It will provide the City with:
- Robust public transit (local, regional and BRT buses), with a near-term future hub just south of 1st Avenue
- Strong bicycle connections to and from downtown, including to the critical east/west Greenway and to the vibrant Old Town section of the City
- Better and wider space for pedestrians, up and down the corridor
