Roadway, Sidewalk and Path Improvements
About the Projects
The Environmental and Transportation Planning Division manages a number of transportation infrastructure planning and design projects. The goals for these projects vary and include improving pedestrian and bicycle access, reducing traffic on residential streets, upgrading the aesthetics of a corridor, and improving travel safety. These projects aim to accommodate all travelers, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers. Smaller projects, such as general repaving and restriping streets are handled by either the Department of Public Works or the Department of Traffic, Parking, and Transportation.
