The Woodland Avenue project kicks off with concept design and engagement.
With three rounds of engagement and 164 survey responses, 80% of voters select the two-way bikeway option for Woodland Avenue.
The short-term separated bike lane is installed from VA Driveway to Chester Avenue.
Traffic signals and crosswalks are installed at 40th Street Trolley Portal/The Woodlands and at Chester Avenue, completing the short-term bike lane. This work will begin in late 2024 and finish in early 2025.
The plans and designs for a dedicated two-way bikeway are finalized.
The long-term bikeway construction is completed.
