Potential Improvements
The following show potential improvements being considered for Garden Street, between Center Street and 5th North Street.
1st North Street to 2nd North Street
The proposed improvements would add curb extensions with rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) at the intersections of 1st North Street and 2nd North Street along Garden Street. The curb extensions and RRFBs will calm vehicle traffic and create shorter crossing distances for pedestrians near the Harman Park baseball fields.
