SS4A Implementation Grant for Bragaw Street Corridor Safety

Improvements, Anchorage, Alaska

Applicant: Municipality of Anchorage

Anchorage, Alaska

SS4A Award: $24,995,000

Project Description
The Municipality of Anchorage is awarded $24.9 million
in funding for its Bragaw Street Corridor project to
address safety concerns along a 1.5-mile corridor in
northern Anchorage that accesses two schools, single-
and multi-family residential areas, a fire station, and a
popular wholesale warehouse. Bragaw Street currently
consists of two lanes of traffic traveling north and
south, with sidewalks that are intermittently separated
from traffic. Pedestrian and cyclist safety challenges
include a lack of bike lanes and minimal room for
winter snow storage, which often compromises
pedestrian mobility.

The project consists of a road diet for the length of the

corridor along with other countermeasures, such as
channelizing right turns and offset left turns, to be
evaluated during the early design phases. Eliminating
two of the four travel lanes will allow for bike lanes, Bragaw Street in Anchorage, Alaska.
increased spacing between driving lanes and sidewalks
to improve snow storage, shorter pedestrian crossing distances, and safer turning movements.
Supplemental planning activities consist of a leading pedestrian interval pilot study and speed
management study. A demonstration project will close one lane of traffic along East Northern
Boulevard.

Holmes Avenue Medical Access Corridor: Safer Streets to

Medical Access for Vulnerable Populations

Applicant: City of Huntsville

Huntsville, Alabama

SS4A Award: $21,640,000

Project Description
The City of Huntsville is awarded $21.6 million in funding for a Complete Streets transformation
on the 3.25-mile stretch of Holmes Avenue that runs from the University of Alabama Huntsville
campus and Cummings Research Park to Spragins Street downtown. The project area was
identified as a high-need multimodal network and a Complete Streets candidate due to people
using vehicles, transit, walking, and biking along the roadway. In its current condition, no buffers
or safety features exist to protect bicyclists from vehicular traffic, and multiple conflict points
arise, culminating in fatalities and serious injuries. This project transforms a local roadway into a
Complete Street and includes the installation of protected bike lanes, crosswalks, continuous
ADA-compliant sidewalks, roadway safety striping, intersection and railroad traffic signalization,
pedestrian safety lighting, and new, accessible bus stops with shelters.

Project Description
Jackson County is awarded $15.9
million in funding to implement
countermeasures at nine rural
roadway segments scattered
throughout the county. The primary
project focus is preventing rural
roadway departures, crashes, and
serious injuries. Rural roadways pose
unique safety challenges in Jackson
County, including a lack of shoulders,
minimal striping, tight curves,
elevation changes, and missing
guardrails. To address these safety
issues, the County is implementing
the following countermeasures:
clearing vegetation, a 4-inch
reflective centerline, installing rumble
strips, a paved two-foot shoulder
with a sloped pavement edge, and extending culverts beyond the clear zone. Of Jackson

Little Rock Safe Streets for All

Applicant: City of Little Rock

Little Rock, Arkansas

SS4A Award: $25,000,000

Project Description
The Central Arkansas Metropolitan
Planning Organization (Metroplan) is
awarded $25 million in funding to
make improvements to five major
corridors along its high-injury
network. The City’s Local Road Safety
Plan highlighted pedestrians
accounted for 31% of roadway
fatalities in Little Rock for the 2017-
2021 period. Lack of adequate and
accessible sidewalks, poorly
maintained pavement markings, wide
roads that encourage high speeds,
lack of lighting, and poor access to
transit are just some of the
contributing factors that plague the City’s infrastructure. To address these safety issues, this
project will incorporate more than 20 of FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures, including
implementing bicycle lanes, crosswalk visibility enhancements, medians and pedestrian refuge
islands, road diets, corridor access management, dedicated left- and right-turn lanes at
intersections, roundabouts, safety edges and wider edge lines, retroreflective backplates, and
lighting enhancements.

Supplemental activities include a planning study for one high-injury network segment and four
high-injury intersections that scored in the top 10 segments and top 20 intersections in the
region with a need for safety improvements.

Dean’s Trail Phase IIIB

Applicant: City of Springdale

Springdale, Arkansas

SS4A Award: $5,187,280

Project Description
The City of Springdale is awarded $5.1 million in funding to construct a multi-use trail segment.
The trail segment (Phase IIIB) is the last section to complete Dean's Trail. Dean's Trail connects
to the Razorback Greenway, considered to be a backbone of active transportation, spanning 40
miles and connecting seven cities. The northern end of Phase IIIB will connect to an underpass
under the Don Tyson Parkway. The current gap in the trail network is a safety issue requiring
trails users to travel along four lane high speed arterial roadways without facilities to
accommodate cyclists. This project completes an important multi-use trail loop to separate
pedestrians and cyclists from motor vehicle traffic and closing the gap in reginal active
transportation facilities. The trail includes one at-grade crossing across AR 265, which is owned
by the Arkansas DOT.

Baseline Road: Setting a New Baseline for Multimodal Safety

Applicant: City of Tempe

Tempe, Arizona

SS4A Award: $12,547,668

Project Description
The City of Tempe is awarded
$12.5 million in funding to
execute strategies identified in the
city’s Vision Zero Action Plan,
specifically along a 3.9-mile
corridor of Baseline Road. Of the
35 fatal or serious-injury crashes
in the corridor between 2017 and
2021, 6 were angle type crashes, 8
were left-turn type crashes, and 7
were crashes involving vulnerable
road users.

The project will transform the corridor, which is presently a wide, straight, 6-lane arterial with
design features that promote through vehicle movement. Safety enhancements include
reducing the number of through lanes; installing delineated bike lanes, dedicated turn lanes, a
signalized pedestrian crossing connecting multimodal facilities across Baseline Road, safety
upgrades at signalized intersections, access-control center medians throughout the corridor, bus
pullouts and shelters, buffered bike lanes, and high-visibility crosswalk striping; converting
specific intersections to protected-only left turns; enhancing intersection lighting; implementing
technology to improve traffic flow; and making Public Right-of-Way Access Guidelines
(PROWAG) accessibility improvements.

Lincoln Avenue/Marshall Way/Pacific Avenue Corridor

Improvement Project

Applicant: City of Alameda

Alameda, California

SS4A Award: $16,000,000

Project Description
The City of Alameda is awarded $16 million in funding for the Lincoln/Marshall/Pacific Corridor
Improvement Project, which will implement Proven Safety Countermeasures along a 3-mile
corridor on the City’s high-injury network. This project addresses the four primary collision
factors that were responsible for almost 75% of crashes along the corridor from 2017 to 2021—
including improper turning, auto right-of-way violations, unsafe speeds, and traffic signal and
sign violations—and improves bicycle and pedestrian safety.

The corridor project implements road diets, continuous bicycle facilities, a roundabout,
pedestrian beacons, pedestrian and bicycle signals, modernized traffic signals, crosswalk
improvements, school frontage improvements, stormwater gardens, disabled parking and
loading zones, improved lighting, and bus stop enhancements. These improvements will close
an existing active transportation gap, reduce speeding, provide safe bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, and address key crash factors using countermeasures that have a proven record of
reducing fatal and serious-injury crashes.

The City of Long Beach is awarded $25 million in funding for safety improvements on Pacific
Avenue, a 2-mile corridor connecting residents, businesses, and visitors to LA Metro public
transit stations and local destinations such as Downtown Long Beach, the Long Beach
Convention Center, and Long Beach City College. Broadside, sideswipe, and head-on collisions
are the most common collision types reported along the project corridor.

The project will address these safety issues to protect all users by adding 2 miles of protected
sidewalk-level Class IV cycle track, implementing continuous center medians and removing left-
turn lanes to reduce traffic conflicts, adding raised pedestrian crossings at minor street
crossings, installing eight new pedestrian crossings, evaluating and implementing road diet
treatments to help eliminate opportunities for speeding, and adding transit stops to support
access and reliability through the accessible design of the sidewalk level bikeway. Seventy-five
percent of the project corridor is within underserved communities.

SS4A Award: $2,900,000

Project Description
The City of Milpitas is
awarded $2.9 million in
funding to implement
systemic, citywide,
pedestrian and cyclist safety
improvements at 38
intersections in the vicinity
of schools. The City of
Milpitas is higher than the
statewide average for
crashes involving
intersections, aggressive
driving, and vulnerable road
users. In recent years there
have been numerous
crashes involving people
walking and biking on the
City’s school route network. A closer look at the citywide crash data reveals that 49% of the bike
and pedestrian crashes (68 out of 138) took place along the City's school routes and within
locations included in the school safety study, with a significant portion resulting in fatal or
severe injuries. Improvements include warning beacons, speed feedback signs, safety lighting,
raised medians and pedestrian refuge islands, ADA curb ramps and bulb-outs, advanced stop
bars, restriping, raised pavement markers, pedestrian barricades, and signage.

The City will also conduct supplemental planning to update its 2011 Safe Routes to School plan.

Project Description
The City of Palmdale is
awarded$5.3 million in
funding for
improvements to a 1.92-
mile segment of a major
five-lane throughfare.
The existing condition
has several safety issues
that include high posted
speed, lack of
pedestrian and bicycle
facilities in portions of
the corridor despite the
presence of three
schools, poor lighting,

Chapel Street Safe Streets Implementation Project

Applicant: New Haven

New Haven, Connecticut

SS4A Award: $11,040,000

Project Description
The City of New Haven is
awarded $11 million in funding to
implement safety improvements
along a 1.6-mile segment of
Chapel Street, a key urban
corridor connecting Downtown
with underserved communities.
The Chapel Street corridor is
located within the City’s high-
injury network (HIN) and accounts
for its most dangerous city-
owned street. Pedestrian and
bicyclist safety is one of the
biggest challenges, and 50% of
vulnerable road user crashes lead to a serious injury or fatality.

This project includes wide ranging treatments that will benefit pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists,
and transit riders, including signal upgrades, pedestrian facility and safety upgrades, bikeways,
the conversion of two streets to car-free thoroughfares, and design preparation for future bus
rapid-transit service. The safety improvements and strategies in this project are focused on
making context-sensitive, systemic network changes, especially for people walking, biking, and
rolling, while providing a model for many more streets across the city.

Supplemental planning includes updating the high-injury network.

Carrolton, Georgia

SS4A Award: $9,200,000

Project Description
The City of Carrollton is awarded $9.2 million in
funding to implement a Complete Streets system
on a busy section of Maple Street—the primary
corridor between the University of West Georgia
and the downtown square—to make it safer for
people who are walking and biking.

Safety concerns include an unsafe environment for

people outside of a vehicle, poor access
management, and frequent speeding. Although
Maple Street was redesignated as a local roadway
after serving as Georgia State Route 166, its
highway-styled design remains. The downtown area has seen an influx of new businesses and
homes, but neighborhood amenities are not easily accessible due to minimal pedestrian- and
bicycle- infrastructure.

This project will address these issues by installing a roundabout, dedicated bicycle lanes, signal
equipment upgrades, crosswalk visibility enhancements, pedestrian mid-block crossings, ADA-
compliant sidewalks, reduced lane width, enhanced corridor lighting, ingress and egress
improvements, and signage improvements. These enhancements will help lower vehicle speeds
throughout the corridor, reduce conflict points, and provide safer mobility for vulnerable road

SS4A Award: $11,100,000

Project Description
The City of Elizabethtown is awarded $11.1 million in funding to improve safety in three
locations: Ring Road, Leitchfield Road, and US 31W. US 31W serves as a critical gateway into the
city, is flanked by commercial developments, and is burdened by oversized access points and
high traffic volumes. As a result, severe angle crashes are common. Existing sidewalks are also
not consistently connected and have unprotected shoulders that are used for walking, and the
roadway has no dedicated left-turn lanes. The Ring Road and Leitchfield Road roundabout
serves a natural transition zone from a rural to urban setting for travelers, reducing speeds as
they enter into developed areas.

This project involves implementing Proven Safety Countermeasures including road diets,
roundabouts, walkways, and improved lighting at the most hazardous locations. The intersection
of Ring Road (KY 3005) and Leitchfield Road (US 62) will be transformed into a roundabout, and
US 31W will get a road diet.

SS4A Award: $3,317,672

Project Description
The Henderson County Fiscal Court is
awarded $3.3 million in funding to
build cost-effective safety measures to
address crashes in a high-traffic,
heavily rural-agricultural area of
western Kentucky bordered to the
north by the Ohio River and Evansville,
Indiana.

The Ohio River Bridges, which include

one northbound and one southbound
bridge, see 40,000 vehicles daily,
making it the busiest traffic corridor in
the region and the only corridor over the Ohio River. Out of 340 area crashes, 180 were single-
vehicle crashes that involved collisions with fixed objects or roadway departures. Roadway
departures are a major safety challenge, and when a crash happens, vehicle traffic must find
alternate routes, which puts thousands of vehicles on small surface streets not designed to
handle the high traffic volumes.

Project components focus on reducing roadway departures using signs, adding striping,
building shoulders, and opening the clear zone.

point for Mississippi State University, and houses the bulk of the City’s commercial district. The
proximity and configuration to the nearby highway interchange encourages high vehicle speeds
through the project area intersection. This excessive speeding combined with the lack of
pedestrian facilities has led to significant safety issues for people walking, biking, and rolling.

To address these issues, the project will convert the intersection to a roundabout to control
speeds and extend the existing multi-use path along Gerrard Rd through the project area
intersection to provide a safe crossing at the highway to access housing, shopping, and the
university. The project also includes supplemental planning activities for various studies to
improve safety across the city: access point removal, intersection improvements, signage studies,
and turning studies.

Village Streets Safety Improvements

Applicant: Amherst
Amherst, New Hampshire

SS4A Award: $5,712,800

Project Description
The Town of Amherst is
awarded $5.7 million in
funding in the Amherst
Village Historic District. The
area is centrally located and
congested with
development and buildings
that were constructed
before the automobile.
Skewed intersections, dense
intersection spacing, poor
sight lines, and parking
constraints present unique
safety challenges. Speed,
traffic, and truck studies
have also shown that vehicles are consistently operating over the speed limit.

The project focuses on six such intersections, selected due to poor geometry, crashes, high
vehicular speeds, use by school children and people walking and bicycling, and their strategic
location at entry points where higher speed roadways enter the Village. The projects will
reconfigure parking to provide daylighting, realign intersections, narrow travel lanes, reduce
corner radii, remove centerline pavement markings where practical, and shorten crosswalk
lengths.

Goose Creek, South Carolina

SS4A Award: $6,000,000

Project Description
The City of Goose Creek is awarded $6 million in funding for the St. James Corridor (Highway
176) Safe Streets & Crossings Project to address a four-lane roadway with lacking pedestrian
infrastructure and poses significant safety risks for all road users. Currently, the design of
Highway 176 encourages speeding and, in doing so, limits the ability of the road to be used for
alternative transportation. Inadequate pedestrian-grade lighting, and unsafe pedestrian and
bicyclist crossings due to lack of crosswalks and signalized intersections, have been identified as
additional risk factors for people walking and biking. 10.8% of Goose Creek residents walk as
their primary means of transportation to work, outpacing the 2.1% statewide commute rate. The
project includes the development of an approximately 3.28-mile shared-use path parallel to
Highway 176 with enhanced crossings to provide a dedicated and safer route for pedestrians,
reducing the risk of collisions and enhancing overall pedestrian safety by separating them from
vehicular traffic.
