College and Walnut Corridor Improvements

This project will include multimodal safety and mobility improvements while addressing maintenance needs at multiple locations along the College Avenue and Walnut Street corridor as listed below. All work will be designed to be compatible with the results of the area’s corridor study to the maximum extent feasible, but the project will not fully implement the results of that study or change the one-way configuration of the streets. The project is programmed in the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Transportation Improvement Program to use up to $5,109,406 of federal funding for construction.
