Frazier Avenue realignment

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Part of the Capital Investment Plan​

​West Trade/Rozzelles Ferry Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program​ (CNIP)

Project phase

 

 Project updates
​​In November 2014, voters approved $20 million for the Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP). This project is part of the West Trade/Rozzelle's Ferry CNIP​. This project helps to reinforce a grid street network, support redevelopment efforts and provide safe, signalized access to a planned CityLYNX Gold Line stop.​
 
Bounded by 5th Street and West Trade Street, this project will provide new 5-foot sidewalks, 6- to 8-foot planting strips and curb and gutter from Montgomery Avenue to West Trade Street. The new roadway section of Frazier Avenue will be built aligned with Wesley Heights Way, and the existing roadway section of Frazier Avenue will be removed in preparation for future development. Street resurfacing, drainage improvements, street trees and new wheelchair ramps will be installed. Pedestrian signals and a traffic signal at the West Trade and Frazier Avenue intersection will be installed. 

 

  • To provide the residents, Johnson C. Smith University and commercial property owners with a safe road system including pedestrian and bicycle amenities and access to the CityLYNX Gold Line Station

  • To improve emergency vehicle response time during the CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 construction by realigning Frazier Avenue to intersect with Wesley Heights Way. This will give first responders a detour around the planned closure of West Trade Street during Gold Line construction

  • To complete construction by the end of June 2018

  • To lessen inconvenience to residents and business owners during construction by utilizing mailers and website updates 

A series of neighborhood meetings, public meetings, stakeholder interviews and charrettes were held during the pre-planning phase for the West Trade/Rozzelles Ferry CNIP. The project team met with more than 400 residents and attended more than 60 neighborhood meetings. To view details, visit the West Trade/Rozzelles CNIP page​.​​​​

​$1.62 million​ 

​​​Please note this is the funding amount and includes all costs associated with the project such as planning and design, acquiring the right of way, utility relocation, consultant fees, construction, signalization, permits and landscaping.
