BREVATOR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PROJECTED TO START, SPRING OF 2024

PROJECT GOALS

Existing Conditions:

1. Wide, weathered, and deteriorated concrete roadway
2. Overbuilt roadway provides space for vehicular use but lacks multi-modal accommodations
3. Non-compliant and potentially unsafe pedestrian sidewalk ramps and crosswalks
4. Street corridor lacks vehicular and pedestrian scale signage
5. Vehicular traffic dominates overall right-of-way character
6. Roadway is prone to flooding
7. Rosemont Park lacks accessible entrance area
8. Brevator Firehouse egress is wide and does not have preferred streetscape character
9. Deficient barrier exposes residents to Route 85 traffic
10. Lack of meaningful street tree canopy contributes to urban heat island effect
11. Streetscape is illuminated by tall, cobrahead style light fixtures and lacks pedestrian scale

Goals:
1. Eliminate concrete drive surface and use more traditional
roadway materials
2. Reduce roadway width while accommodating for mass
transit, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation
3. Improve pedestrian connections by adding ADA compliant
sidewalks and crosswalks
4. Install additional vehicular and pedestrian scale signage at
key areas along the corridor
5. Provide drive lanes, parking, bicycle and pedestrian
pathways
6. Implement green infrastructure stormwater practices
7. Improve pedestrian access to Rosemont Park entrance
area
8. Strategically reduce Brevator Firehouse curb cut to
improve circulation
9. Formalize streetscape amenities to provide buffer to
Route 85
10. Provide pedestrian scale lighting and street trees
