Project Description

This project is for improving pedestrian safety, especially for Yolanda Elementary and Briggs Middle school children. The project area includes:  23rd Street abutting Yolanda Elementary, between Yolanda Avenue and Viewmont Avenue; 31st Street, between Yolanda Avenue and the EWEB bike path; and Yolanda Avenue, from Pierce Park to 31st Street. The portion of Yolanda Avenue directly abutting the schools is specifically not included in the project because that portion is under the City of Springfield’s jurisdiction; the City has implemented bicycle and pedestrian improvements along that segment.
