Type | Complexity | Priority | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Medium | Moderate | Short term | The project will be funded and implemented by the developer of Brainerd Place Mixed-Use Development. |
Goals:

Elements:
Minor roadway widening along Main Street southbound approach to provide a dedicated southbound left-turn lane
Reduce the curve radius and lane width of the existing northbound channelized right-turn lane to reduce right-turning travel speeds
Shift the crosswalk on the east leg further from the intersection to provide a shorter crossing with straight alignment and refuge area on the median island
Install ADA compliant pedestrian signals and pushbuttons
Install traffic signal at Brainerd Place driveway on Marlborough Street
Provide right-in only driveway for Brainerd Place along Main Street north of Gulf gas station
Permits:
OSTA approval for Brainerd Place development
