Project Overview
This project originated from the Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Program (NECI) planning effort. It connects 25th Street over Upper Little Sugar Creek, requiring a bridge or culvert structure to be added. The conceptual cross-section includes two travel lanes, bike lanes, curb & gutter, sidewalk & planting strip and street trees, as well as on-street parking (from the bridge to North Brevard Street).
Project Goals
- To provide a direct street connection from Brevard Street to North Davidson Street
- To improve accessibility to the Villa Heights neighborhood and the 25th Street LYNX Blue Line station
- To promote economic development by providing infrastructure to support and encourage transit-oriented development
