2016.11.15 Project Update Presentation (HWXP2007)

This document summarizes a proposed reconstruction project along East 177th Street and Devoe Avenue in the Bronx. The project aims to complete a section of the Bronx River Greenway trail, improve pedestrian safety at intersections, and upgrade infrastructure. Specifically, it would redesign three complex intersections to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and add refuge medians. This is intended to improve organization of pedestrian and vehicle movements and reduce conflicts. The proposed reconstruction would link two sections of the greenway trail and enhance access to nearby parks, cultural sites, and transit.
