W.T. Harris Boulevard and The Plaza Intersection

Part of the Transportation Program

Many intersections are not pedestrians or bicycle-friendly due to a number of factors, such as a lack of pedestrian signals or crosswalks, signal timing issues, excessive crossing distances, absence of sidewalks or wheelchair ramps, absence of bicycle lanes and miscellaneous intersection design features.  This project seeks to improve travel conditions for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users at the W.T. Harris Boulevard and The Plaza intersection.

Objectives:

  • Improve travel conditions for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclist and transit users at existing intersections
  • Create more travel choices  
 
 


W.T. Harris Blvd and The Plaza
