The Boulevard reimagined

A new study will consider updates to the road design and transit services. This work will change the look and feel of the Boulevard by 2040.

The following road design options are under consideration:

• A partially capped expressway with four sunken expressway lanes (50 mph) and two local outer lanes (25 mph).
• A neighborhood boulevard with six inner lanes (25 mph) and four local outer lanes (25 mph).

Possible transit services include:

• Bus rapid transit (BRT).
• Light rail transit (LRT).
• Subway.
