Supported by $20 Million U.S. Department of Transportation Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant

The City is making comprehensive upgrades to streets, sidewalks, bike lanes and transit systems, making it easier and safer for residents to access jobs, education and essential services.

These improvements are designed to ensure safer and more efficient movement through key corridors and neighborhoods while serving as a catalyst for private sector investment in the Uptown, Junction and Englewood neighborhoods.

What We're Doing

  1. Catalyzing private sector investment in the Uptown, Junction, and Englewood neighborhoods
  2. Addressing key safety, mobility, and connectivity challenges that disproportionately impact the area’s most disadvantaged residents by improving their access to economic opportunity
  3. Improving individual and environmental health and quality of life


How We're Doing It

  • Improving utility infrastructure with new water and sewer lines
  • Improving roadways with 6.5 lane miles of reconstruction across 38 city blocks
  • Improving pedestrian safety with curb extensions, high visibility crosswalks, and enhanced streetscaping
  • Planting 1,000+ trees to reduce urban heat impacts in Uptown
  • Improving street lighting by adding 160 new streetlights to the current 160 lights in place
  • Adding some painted and some protected bike lanes to 17th St. between I-75 and Adams
  • Enhancing Dorr St. overpass to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety and connectivity
  • Adding a multi-use path to Dorr St. that connects with a protected bike lane on 17th St. from Adams St. to Washington St. to provide a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist corridor from Junction through Uptown
  • NEW! TARTA Mobility Hub to serve as a centralized node of multi-modal activity with an elevated bus stop, decorative seating, energy efficient LED lighting, free wi-fi, new fare collection kiosks, and bike and scooter shelters
