SPRINGFIELD- RECONSTRUCTION OF SUMNER AVENUE AT DICKINSON STREET AND BELMONT AVENUE (THE "X")

The project includes reconstruction of The "X" intersection in Springfield. The project includes reconstruction of the existing roadways, realignment of critical intersections, and implementation of mini-roundabouts to improve traffic flow through non critical intersections. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit accommodations will be improved to provide safe and healthy transportation alternatives. In addition to improved safety, the area will be improved by streetscaping, landscaping, drainage and utility improvements, and accessibility/connectivity improvements. Multi-Use paths will connect the surrounding neighborhood to Forest Park via Cliftwood St and Trafton St on the eastern border of the park. The Multi-Use trail contains two 5’ opposing lanes and entrance protection to prevent prohibited motor vehicles from entering.
