STREETS | Delridge Way SW and SW Oregon St
Crossing Upgrades
Project Description and Goals:
Fast paced traffic along this residential corridor creates a challenging crossing for pedestrians. This year, we're installing a signalized crosswalk and updating curb ramps. Per the public vote, these fixes will enhance access to the existing pedestrian bridge and create an at-grade option for crossing Delridge Way SW.
The project supports plans for upgrading Metro Route 120 to RapidRide H and improving connections for people walking and biking in 2020.
Project Solution(s):
Install a signalized crosswalk at Delridge Way SW and SW Oregon St to supplement the current pedestrian bridge
Install enhanced pedestrian curb ramps and maintain ADA accessibility
Construction anticipated 2020 - 2021.

“Barton Bus Triangle” Upgrades
Project Description and Goals:
The "Delridge Bus Triangle" is a City managed property in the heart of the Westwood Highland Park Urban Village. The location serves as a connection between Metro routes to the east, and the Westwood Village Transit mall to the west, along Barton Street SW. Installing sidewalks, and trimming the overgrown landscape, creates a safer space.
The project supports plans for upgrading local Metro Routes and improving connections for people walking and biking in 2020.
We have partnered with a "Friends of the Delridge Bus Triangle" to document the history, needs and collective vision of the space.
Project Solution(s):
Install an interim walking path on the south side of SW Barton St
Enhance and maintain the existing landscape
Construction was completed in June 2019.

12th Ave S, 8th Ave S and S Cloverdale St
Crossing Upgrades
Project Description and Goals:
South Cloverdale Street experiences high traffic volumes from people driving and walking, making several intersections challenging to cross. The intersections along Cloverdale provide a connection to South Park Playground, South Park Community Center, Concord International School and the SR-99 freeway. Modifying them increases predictability, accessibility, and safety for travelers.
Project Solution(s):
Install a new marked crosswalk
Upgrade the current signal to meet ADA standards
