This project consists of improvements to the northwest and southwest sidewalk ramps by providing "bump outs" to reduce the east/west pedestrian crossing distance across 14th Street. The pedestrian bump outs will be located on the west side of 14th Street and will bring curb-protected walk areas with ADA ramps out into the parking area, allowing a safer stopping space for pedestrians and reducing the crossing distance across 14th Street. Along with the bump outs, stop signs will be added to provide an all way stop for vehicular traffic at the 14th Street and Lincoln Mall intersection.
Construction is tentatively planned to begin in fall of 2025. The construction schedule is dependent on weather.
The northwest and southwest ramps at 14th and Lincoln Mall will be closed while work is taking place. Pedestrians should use the 14th and “K” crossing to the north or the 14th and “H” crossing to the south during construction.
