Accessibility and state highway projects
Speakers and raised arrows on APS signals provide information about the intersection to pedestrians with hearing and visual impairments.
All MnDOT projects - both new construction and rehabilitation projects - must include evaluation to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Components can include, but are not limited to adding curb cuts, truncated domes and accessible pedestrian signals. Read about MnDOT's transition plan to comply with the ADA.
Specifics for this project
- Install accessible pedestrian signals to improve pedestrian sidewalk ramps at all non-signalized intersections for better pedestrian accessibility.
- Put in sharrows (shared car and bike lanes) for bicycles at the south end of the project between Central Avenue and 1st Avenue to connect existing trails. Read more about bicycling in Minnesota.
