Description:
The March Avenue Reconstruction and Pedestrian Upgrades Project will reconstruct the roadway pavement and make pedestrian and bicycle upgrades along March Avenue between Healdsburg Avenue and University Street. Pedestrian upgrades are envisioned to include installation of ADA compliant curb ramps at all intersections along with curbline bulb-outs and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at Lupine Road and Prentice Drive. Sidewalk along the corridor will be evaluated and brought into ADA compliance where possible. Additional curbline bulb-outs will be evaluated and implemented to reduce pedestrian crossing distances. Signage and striping will be upgraded along with no parking areas designated to comply with AB 413.
March Avenue is a primary east/west route within the City. It serves as access to schools and health care among others. The pavement has been sealed numerous times over the past 10 years and suffers from wearing and delamination of the multiple seal layers. Reconstruction of the pavement is needed. Additionally, many of the curb ramps do not comply with current standards and need upgrading.
Opportunities to cross March Avenue are currently limited to a single crossing at Lupine Road. Additional crossing and crossing enhancements are needed.
Improvements to vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrian access along March Avenue from Healdsburg Avenue to University Street can enhance active transportation and benefit the entire community
