Action Plan: This proj ect consists of the construction of a new bituminous pathway along the north side of County Road C between Western Avenue and Rice Street and an upgraded crosswalk across County Road C at the main park entrance. This "collector" pathway will provide a safe means for pedestrians utilizing the existing pathways on Western Avenue and Rice Street, as well as the pedestrians utilizing the perpendicular residential streets, a safe and convenient means to reach a new crosswalk across County Road C. The new crosswalk will be striped with permanent tape and will include enhanced signage. By constructing one main crosswalk, both pedestrians and motorists will better focus their attention on the crosswalk, thus increasing both the safety and the chance for crosswalk compliance. Evaluation: Prior to construction, the City will conduct a visual survey of pedestrian crossing practices in the project area. This survey will count the number and location of pedestrian crossings over an 8-hour period on an early summer weekend day. Once the project has been constructed, a similar survey will be conducted to quantify the effectiveness of the proj ect.
