​​​​Washington Lane Corridor Safety Improvements​​


Project Location​


Overview

This proposed project includes pedestrian and traffic signal improvements at select intersections along the Washington Lane corridor.  The work will occur at the following intersections:


  • Washington Lane and Stenton Avenue
  • Washington Lane and Mansfield Avenue 
  • Washington Lane and Rodney Avenue 
  • Washington Lane and Lowber Avenue 
  • Washington Lane and Woolston Avenue 
  • Washington Lane and Thouron Avenue 
  • Washington Lane and Limekiln Pike 
  • Washington Lane and Ogontz Avenue
  • Washington Lane and Cheltenham Avenue
  • Washington Lane at 76th Street/Blair Road 

The proposed work includes:

  • Installing retroreflective backplates on traffic signal mast arms.
  • Adding pedestrian countdown timers at signalized intersections.
  • Coordinating signals along Washington Lane to improve operations (removing arterials). 
  • Improving visibility of traffic signal displays (instead of the pedestal-mast arm text as many side streets still have pedestals and not overhead displays).
  • Constructing curb bump-outs at select locations.
  • Constructing a flashing beacon and raised crosswalk at 76th Street/Blair Road.
