Three Options For University Avenue Improvements

The next community workshop for input on these options is set for Thursday July 21.

With funding from the Crossroads Redevelopment Area, planners and consultants have developed 3 options for improvements to all modes of transportation on University Avenue from 54th Street to 69th Street. The goal of the University Avenue Corridor Mobility Study is to identify short-mid and long term projects that will improve pedestrian access, bicycle facilities and accessibility, transit operations and facilities and traffic flow in the corridor. View the options from links at the end of this posting.

Proposals Include
  • Realignment of Chollas Parkway to an intersection with a traffic signal at University Avenue
  • Raised medians from 54th Street to 69th Street
  • Elimination of free right turn lanes at 54th and 58th Streets, slowing traffic and reducing crossing distance at intersections with large numbers of pedestrians
  • Left turn lanes for 58th Street at University Avenue
  • A pedestrian ramp to improve access to the bus stop on the north side of University Avenue between 58th Street and 60th Street
  • Sidewalks installed where they are missing now
