Project Overview

Improvements are coming to Pace Street from 9th Avenue to 17th Avenue. This project will repair and widen the asphalt, make it easier to walk and bicycle and upgrade the street’s drainage system.

 

The project will add buffered bike lanes in both directions to give cyclists more space and improve safety. We will also install two rectangular rapid-flashing beacons (RRFBs) to help people cross the street more safely.

 

To improve drainage, we will upgrade the existing stormwater system. This may include adding new curb and gutter on the west side of Pace Street and making other drainage improvements needed.
