400 South Safety Improvements

Responsive Margin

May 2025 Update

Construction is nearly complete, with just the final paint striping work left.

Overview

During the 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funding cycle, residents from the Poplar Grove neighborhood submitted a plan to improve pedestrian safety on 400 South at the Goshen and 1000 West intersections. The plan includes curb extensions, red crosswalks, and flashing crosswalk signs (RRFBs). Curb extensions encourage motorists to follow the speed limit and shorten the time for a pedestrian to cross the street, making walking safer. Construction is expected in the summer of 2024.  

Why are these improvements being built in 2024 and not with the earlier project on 400 South this year?

The funds for the prior 400 South bus stop and crosswalk improvements came from a federal grant. The funds for this project came from a constituent request with the Capital Improvement Program, which awarded funds later than other project.
