Descrição
A pedestrian bridge over I-264 along Independence Blvd. is years overdue. Pedestrians and bicyclists do not have safe or practical passage along Independence Blvd. under I-264.
Consider the following:
Pedestrian traffic is prohibited under I-264 along the north bound lanes of Independence Blvd from South Blvd to Bonney Road and it is unsafe for bicycle traffic.
Pedestrian and bicycle traffic is not advisable under I-264 along the south bound lanes of Independence Blvd from Euclid Road to Baxter Road. The way through is flooded with stagnant water and debris.
There are no other practical and safe routes for pedestrians and bicycles to reach either side of I-264 along Independence Blvd.
Having to wait for a HRT bus to travel less than a mile is time consuming.
Pedestrians from hundreds of housing units off Baxter Road, Alicia Drive, and Wicklow Place and the general public need safe passage to the north side of I-264 to the Town Center vicinity and beyond.
Pedestrians from the Town Center vicinity need safe passage to the south side of I-264 and beyond.
Connect pedestrians from Town Center vicinity to Mount Trashmore.
Pedestrians will need access to the proposed Light Rail station at Town Center.

This issue was addressed back in 2006, but nothing has been done about it. Read this article.

More proof this area needs to be improved and made safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The project design is 90% complete and construction is scheduled to start November of 2019. Please contact Oneil Clarke at 757-385-4131 with any further questions.
This project will provide a 5-ft wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of
Independence Boulevard from the I-264 East on-ramp to Baxter Road, and the north side of Baxter Road from Independence Boulevard to Alicia Drive, a total distance of approximately 0.40 miles. The concrete sidewalk will tie in to existing sidewalks at the Best Buy shopping center on Independence Boulevard and Alicia Drive on Baxter Road. This project also includes a retaining wall under the overpass of I-264, new curb and gutter, accessible curb ramps and pedestrian crosswalks. This project will provide connectivity in an area that is clearly used by pedestrians as evidenced by
the worn natural path. The Total Project Cost is approximately $1,075,000. The City will provide the 20% match ($215,000) and request the remaining 80% ($860,000) in TAP funds.
We would like to close this issue in SeeClickFix as the problem will be eliminated with the construction.
