Alameda/Parrott Intersection Update


At a recent community meeting, Public Works engineers shared the history of the

Alameda/Parrott intersection project and the City's near and mid-term plan to improve

safety, traffic flow and aesthetics.  Data gathered before and after installation of the

current white delineators demonstrated a clear increase in public confidence in using

the crosswalks due to decreased perceived danger to pedestrians.


The near-term plan includes striping improvements to existing lane delineation that also

will enable buses and large vehicles to turn more easily on to and off of Parrott

Drive.  The existing white delineator posts will be replaced with a combination of

rubberized traffic-rated curbs & fewer white delineator posts.  The blocked off areas will

be highlighted, and the second southbound through lane on Alameda will be reinstalled.


Mid-term plans call for evaluating whether it is feasible and desirable to install wooden

planter boxes along the intersection to beautify it.  The planter boxes and planting

material, if installed, would be the same as the planter boxes at either end of the B

Street Pedestrian Mall.
