Background

“There is a history of community advocacy for change on Avenue Road. Narrow sidewalks and lack of bikeways, excessive vehicular speeds, and a history of collisions resulting in fatality or serious injury are highly vocalized concerns. Most recently, on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, a person was fatally injured while cycling on Avenue Road near Elgin Avenue.” The changes proposed in this item “would [help] improve both safety and mobility options by providing improved cycling connections to transit, parks, local schools, businesses, and residences.”
