Background Information
21st St NE is classified as an Urban Major collector situated between Eastmont Ave and N. Baker Ave. that serves as an important residential connection to employment centers, elementary schools, churches, shopping centers, and recreation. Sidewalks through this section of road are intermittent and not ADA compliant. This forces pedestrians, including students during the school year, to share the road with traffic.
The stormwater collection and conveyance system along the corridor is incomplete. There is currently no illumination provided along the corridor or at the intersections with N. Baker Avenue or N. Devon Avenue.
The project will provide urban improvements for pedestrians and vehicular traffic, including but not limited to curb, gutter and sidewalk, illumination and provisions to collect, convey and dispose of stormwater runoff from the improved roadway corridor.
