Table 108 : Avenue J intersection recommendations Category
Issues and Recommendations
Issue : There are curb ramps on the northwest and northeast corners. The curb ramp on the northeast corner is ADA compliant, although it points toward the center of the intersection. The curb ramp on the northwest corner is not ADA compliant. Recommendation: Replace northwest corner curb ramp. Consider replacing northeast corner diagonal curb ramp with directional ramps. Install curb ramps where they are missing on the southern corners and to cross the southwest corner slip lane. Issue: Crosswalks are unmarked on the north, south, and east legs. Recommendation: Install new high-visibility crosswalks on north south and east legs. Install new high- visibility crosswalks across slip lanes if they are to remain. Issue : Pedestrian signals are not on auto recall on Beach Street crossings. Crossings are very wide. Vehicles move very fast and do not yield in the right turn slip lanes. Recommendation: Place pedestrian signals on auto recall. Install median islands on Beach Street. Remove right turn slip lanes. If infeasible, adjust geometry to control speeds. Issue : There is no sidewalk on the southwest corner. The sidewalk on the southeast corner is obstructed by a transmission pole. Recommendation: Construct sidewalk on the southwest corner. Relocate transmission pole and reconstruct sidewalk. If relocation is not feasible, reconstruct the sidewalk to avoid the transmission pole. Issue : The Uplift Meridian Preparatory Academy is not served by pedestrian routes and only allows motor vehicles to access through the gates, leading to long vehicle queues that back up into the roadway. Recommendation: Work with the school to allow pedestrian access to drop- offs and pick- ups. Install RRFB, pedestrian refuge island, curb ramps, and other crossing treatments to facilitate a direct mid - block crossing from the new apartment building on Avenue J to the school .
