Field Observations and Recommendations In November 2024, project team members conducted field observations of the corridor to obtain a better understanding of the existing operations and challenges . These observations are grouped into two categories: corridor- focused and intersection -focused. Corridor- Focused Recommendations The following field observations were made along Pennsylvania Avenue. These observations pertain to the entirety of the corridor and are not segment -specific, unless otherwise noted. This corridor is in a dense area with intermittent directional bikes lanes but continuous sidewalks. It also has a Trinity Metro bus route. There are north-south bus routes that intersect with this corridor, as well. Corridor recommendations focus on improving transit, pedestrian, and bicycl ist accommodations. Road Diet and Access Management It is recommended that the corridor be studied for a road diet, to reduce it to a three- lane section between S Henderson Street and 8 th Ave. The need for maintaining on -street parking along the corridor should also be considered. The removal of a travel lane or on -street parking would create space for bicycle facilities and amenities like bus stops. For remaining parking, it should be reconfigured as to not obstruct pedestrians and cyclists.
