After a lengthy delay the bicycle and pedestrian signal at Treat Avenue and Broadway Boulevard is finally being installed.
But what about the Broadway widening, which includes a signalized crossing at the intersection?
According to the city’s bicycle and pedestrian program manager Ann Chanecka the new temporary Bike HAWK is being built in a way that the city can salvage it and use it elsewhere following the construction.
The city hopes the crossing will be installed by early September.
If the plan is to salvage the HAWK, they should consider installing it at Treat and 6th St. That would really improve connectivity along Treat, and make the entire Bike Boulevard more useful and useable for everyone.
