Pedestrian Facilities There are sidewalks on both sides of the corridor but there are significant gaps.
• It is recommended that a new sidewalk be constructed to fill in the gaps along the corridor. • Crosswalks are recommended at each stop - controlled intersection. Bicycle Facilities There is bicycle signage along 26 th Street, however, no bicycle facilities were observed along the corridor. Given the connection to the Trinity Trails System at Ellis Avenue and the residential use along the corridor, • I t recommended to treat the corridor as a bike boulevard and install sharrow pavement markings. Intersection - Focused Recommendations The following observations were made at specific intersections along NW 26 th Street. N Main Street This is a signalized intersection. The eastern leg of this intersection is Stockyards B oulevard, part of the Historic Stockyards District. All legs of the intersection have adequate crosswalks. Stop bars are present and are spaced adequately from the crosswalks. On the eastern leg there are channelized turn lanes with islands, crosswalks, and pedestrian push buttons.
