Bridge Street Gateway Complete Street Demonstration

The Bridge Street Gateway Complete Street Demonstration project focuses on the intersections of Bridge Street, North Street and Broad Street, which serves as the gateway to the city from the exit of Interstate 95. The purpose of this project is to temporarily demonstrate and evaluate elements of a complete street redesign proposed for the intersection, which include enhancing the pedestrian and cyclist experience by increasing visibility, shortening pedestrian crossing distances, and slowing vehicular traffic.

The demonstration project will focus on the following elements:

• Markings (high visibility crosswalks and midblock crossing)
• Curb extensions
• Bicycle lanes
• Median pedestrian island along Bridge St (to test closing a left turn lane onto I-95 on ramp)
• Signage & Banners
