LAWRENCE- COMMUNITY DAY ARLINGTON IMPROVEMENTS (SRTS)

The project proposes the reconstruction of curb ramps driveway aprons and sidewalk to improve accessibility; upgrade crosswalks with high visibility pavement markings and warning signs; construction of sidewalk bump outs at Arlington Street/Lawrence Street and Arlington Street/Hampshire Street to reduce crossing distances, improve sight lines, and reduce vehicle speeds; replace school zone beacons to reduce speeding, and install a raised sidewalk/island along Arlington Street at the school driveway to define traffic flow and parking zones and reduce conflict between pedestrians and vehicles during school pick/up dropoff. Install a traffic signal at Arlington Street/Lawrence Street and upgrade pedestrian signals at Arlington Street/Broadway with countdown signal heads and accessible pushbuttons to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety.
