Edgewater Transportation, Safety and Access Improvements Project
Second Street Reconstruction: Enhanced Vehicle and Pedestrian Circulation
By reconstructing Second Street, the goal is to transform the recently acquired unpaved 44,000 square foot gravel median separating City-maintained travel lanes along Second Street NW from Rosemont and Gerth Streets into a pedestrian friendly environment with parking facilities to support mixed use development on Second Street from Rosemont to Gerth. The vision for Second Street is for more housing and commercial uses to support the mix of commercial uses on Edgewater. The conceptual design includes sidewalks, street trees, customer parking, improved lighting and utility upgrades. This project will be designed in 2012 to meet upcoming stormwater treatment standards and constructed in 2013.
Rosemont/Edgewater Intersection Replacement: Increasing Traffic Capacity and Safety
In conjunction with the Second Street project, the Rosemont/Edgewater intersection will be improved to include a new signal and improved vehicular circulation and safety for all modes through the intersection by widening the intersection and allowing for left turn lanes from Edgewater to Rosemont and Rosemont to Edgewater. Funding for this project, also scheduled for construction in 2013, comes from Transportation System Development Charges.
