anchor Description
This project provides for planning, design and reconstruction of existing intersections in Montgomery County where safety or operational challenges have been identified. These include locations where the original design is obsolete due to increased traffic volumes or changes in adjacent land use resulting in the need for modern pedestrian amenities. The project also includes the identification and implementation of traffic calming treatments in tandem with corridor modifications to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety. At these identified locations, designs are developed that may include simple concepts that allow construction to begin immediately or require more comprehensive or detailed design plans necessitating programming of projects in future fiscal years.
anchorCost Change
Addition of funding for FY31 and FY32 for this ongoing project.
anchor Justification
Ongoing studies conducted by the Division of Traffic Engineering and Operations indicate that many corridors and intersections need traffic calming modifications as well as capacity and/or vehicular and pedestrian safety improvements.
