This study evaluates the transportation and stormwater needs along Chicago Avenue between Rockingham Drive and Mount Clinton Pike, and along Waterman Drive between West Market Street and Chicago Avenue. Multiple alternatives will be evaluated to address needs forpeoplewalking and biking, alongside consideration of improvements on parallel routes used by people walking and biking. Safety and operational improvements at intersections will be evaluated for all roadway users. The study will identify a preferred concept for transportation improvements, for which the City can seek funding for construction. The study will also identify preferred stormwater measures that address existing challenges and work alongside proposed transportation improvements.
