Funds secured from the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program will go towards pedestrian safety improvements at 35 intersections around the city.

The Dept. of Public Works says it’ll start the project this summer and expect work to be complete by spring 2024, weather permitting. Roads like Arthur Ashe Boulevard, Cary Street, Main Street, and Hull Street will see improvements at multiple intersections.

The project will include adding high visibility crosswalks, accessible ramps, and pedestrian countdown signals.
