Over the past year, PRT’s contractor relocated water and drainage infrastructure, installed a new and expanded sidewalk, new curb and accessible ramps.

Intersection improvements include new traffic signals and crosswalks, accessible pedestrian signals—with push button audible signals—and illuminated countdown signals.

While this is not a PRTX station location, the new infrastructure will improve safety and accessibility for everyone.

Construction fencing is expected to remain in place until new line striping can be placed, to better align vehicle traffic with new traffic signals, which is expected to happen in Spring/Summer 2025.
