Completing our First Big Design Milestone

Earlier this month, we hit our first big design milestone for the Cecil Elementary Safe Routes to School project—completing 30% design. Since then, our technical reviewers have been hard at work reviewing and providing feedback on the initial plans. We've also been coordinating with neighbors—meeting with the school administration, presenting to the Greater Greenmount Community Association, and doorknocking neighbors with Councilman Jones.

The 30% project design includes:

• A new raised crosswalk at the school’s entrance on Cecil Ave
• New ADA ramps & “bump outs” at the intersections
• A elevated bus stop at 22 & Kirk for a better bus experience
• Changing Cecil Ave from 22nd to 20th to a one-way street (going southbound) with angled parking on the east side of Cecil Ave. (There will be no parking loss.)
