The proposed redesign of Congress Avenue aims to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists while maintaining access for vehicles, creating vibrant public spaces, and enhancing safety.
City officials are considering a phased approach to the $130 million project, focusing first on adding protected bike lanes and pedestrian zones to promote safety.
Laura Dierenfield emphasized the importance of creating pedestrian plazas around cultural landmarks, integrating seating areas, rain gardens, and improved bike lanes for community engagement.
Funding challenges exist for the expansive project, particularly for the Congress Avenue bridge improvements, which remain unfunded and reliant on future financial commitments from the city.
