Community Priorities Key Themes From First Public Workshop
Pedestrian improvements throughout the corridor
Traffic calming
Gateway treatments at Oak Lawn & Douglas
Minimize loss of on-street parking
-
Conceptual Design Stage
• Focus on overall street design concept and general location of priority design elements/features
• No specific styles, fixtures or materials selected
• Rough cost estimates to represent allocation of resources to primary design elements
-
Two Conceptual Design Options 4-Lane Option 3-Lane Option
Improvements spread between Oak Lawn & Douglas
Improvements focused between Knight and Reagan
• Gateway enhancements @ Oak Lawn & Douglas
• Only Continental crosswalks @ Oak Lawn & Douglas
• Spot repair of existing sidewalks, ADA ramps, redundant curb cut closures
• Continuous sidewalk widening, curb reconstruction, ADA ramps, redundant curb cut closures
• Limited landscaping, seating, mini plazas where space allows
• Continuous landscape enhancement, mini plazas
• Continental crosswalks at intersections • Continuous road resurfacing, restriping & Continental crosswalks at intersections
• Decorative paving and bump-outs @ Knight, Throckmorton & Reagan
• Decorative paving and bump-outs @ Throckmorton & Reagan

Signalizing Intersections
Requested locations: Knight and Reagan
Considerations: Signals at staggered intersections are inherently
inefficient – could cause drivers to try to beat the light
Warrant study necessary
Cost of installation per intersection - $200,000
Not recommended by staff Maintain existing rectangular rapid flashing signals for
pedestrian safety
-
Hawk Signals
Requested location: Reagan
Considerations:
Hawk signals are designed for mid-block situations
They can pose safety concerns if installed at intersections
Not recommended by staff
Recommend existing rectangular rapid flashing signals and flashing buttons along crosswalk
