How does the University Line improve safety and accessibility?

The entire community will benefit from significant investments in infrastructure to improve safety and accessibility along The University Line corridor. ​ Most of the Uptown neighborhood will have new sidewalks that are wider and more accessible.

Intersections throughout the corridor will be modernized to include ADA compliant curb ramps and crosswalks, new traffic signals and intersection lighting, accessible pedestrian signals with push button activators, and illuminated pedestrian countdown signals.

PRTX shelters will have ADA complaint loading zones and are designed without side panels to provide easier access to the shelter.
