3. RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 13: Provide an enhanced intersection at E. 131 st Avenue and N. 15 th Street Enhanced intersections offer many benefits to cyclists, pedestrians and people using motorized wheelchairs. Enhanced intersections include wide, high-visibility crosswalks, advanced stop bars and curb extensions with narrow turning radii. Curb extensions are appropriate where two wider streets intersect and current conditions allow vehicles to turn right at higher speeds. By extending the curb and narrowing the turning radii, the crossing distance for pedestrians is lowered and pedestrian comfort and safety is increased. In addition, vehicles turning right will need to slow before making the turn, allowing time for a driver to see pedestrians about to cross or already in the crosswalk.
