TSW Landscape Architecture’s Featured Project
5th Street Complete Street
The 5th Street Complete Street project includes a range of improvements that will benefit everyone who uses the roadway. For example, new bike lanes will provide a safer and more convenient option for cyclists, while sidewalks will be upgraded to provide better access for pedestrians. In addition, the project will include a variety of signal timing and design changes that will improve traffic flow and reduce delays for cars and buses.
One of the most important aspects of the 5th Street Complete Street project is its focus on creating a safer environment for all users. Safety improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks, new traffic signals, and improved lighting will help to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. These changes will not only make the roadway safer for those who live and work in the area, but will also help to attract more businesses and residents to the community.
