50th Street Concept

The concept on 50th Street is a 3/4 access intersection at Dale Dr and the City Hall entrance with protected left turns, right in - right outs, and expanded off street pedestrian and bike facilities. It also improves the traffic signal at 50th Street and Grange Road. The benefits of this concept are;

1. Reduced vehicle and pedestrian conflict points from 32 to 10.
2. Safe queuing for left hand turns within dedicated medians.
3. Reduced Vehicle Speeds - medians provide traffic calming by narrowing lanes.
4. Reduced severity and frequency of most crash types.
5. Improved pedestrian facility - wide shared use trails on both sides.
