Project Description
The 12th Avenue South Complete and Green Streets Project is a 1.6-mile corridor consisting of new water line, protected bike lanes, 17 transit stop upgrades, green stormwater management infrastructure, and ADA compliant sidewalk & pedestrian safety improvements.
Project Features
- Green stormwater infrastructure including 50 urban bio-retention islands for stormwater quantity and quality treatment. Urban bio-retention islands capture runoff and treat the water by filtration through an engineered soil medium and infiltrated into an underdrain.
- improvements to 17 transit stops including dedicated boarding islands, bus stop shelters with wayfinding, and a paratransit accessible stop
- To increase bike safety and comfortability, the new bike lane is physically separated vertically and horizontally from vehicular traffic to provide protection to riders along 12th Avenue South.
