Main Street from Lee Highway to Bisset Park - Road Reconfiguration

Main Street from Lee Highway to Bisset Park is proposed to be converted from a four-lane roadway to a three-lane roadway with one lane in each direction and a dedicated left-turn lane at intersections. Bike lanes are proposed along both sides of Main Street that would tie into the existing bike lanes east of Bisset Park.

At Dalton Drive, dedicated left-turn lanes and left-turn signal phases are proposed along Main Street to reduce the potential for rear-end crashes. Additionally, high visibility crosswalk markings are proposed across all legs of the intersection to improve pedestrian safety.

At Grove Avenue, right turns are proposed to be prohibited from Grove Avenue to Main Street. Additionally, left turns from Main Street to Grove Avenue and Wildwood Park Drive would be prohibited. Signalized pedestrian crossings are proposed across Wildwood Park Drive, Grove Avenue, and the western leg of Main Street to improve pedestrian safety.

Main Street at Bisset Park

Do Not Block Intersection signing and markings are proposed at the intersection of Main Street at Bisset Park to improve safety and keep the intersection clear of vehicles.

Just east of Bisset Park, a pedestrian crosswalk is proposed across Main Street at the bus stop across from Golden Bowl. The pedestrian crossing would include high-visibility markings and warning signs. Curb ramps would be installed at both ends of the crosswalk and a concrete landing would be installed along the south side of Main Street at the bus stop.
