Transforming Avondale Estates: A Complete Street Overhaul for a Safer, More Walkable Downtown
A Major Transformation for Accessibility and Safety
Avondale Estates is undergoing a significant makeover with the Complete Street overhaul of North Avondale Road and East College Avenue. This ambitious project seeks to enhance accessibility, safety, and aesthetics while making the city’s main corridor more inviting for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
Key Milestones Achieved in the First Year
A year into construction, the project has reached notable achievements, including the installation of stormwater pipes and underground utility relocation. Additionally, decorative pavers have been added to Tudor Village, complementing the area’s historic architecture and improving outdoor seating options.
Redefining the City’s Main Corridor
The five-lane highway is being reduced to three lanes, incorporating a 10-foot-wide path for pedestrians and bicyclists, upgraded traffic signals, landscape buffers, and improved crossings. These enhancements aim to support a more walkable and bike-friendly downtown, linking key locations such as the Town Green, restaurants, and shops.
Upcoming Developments and Project Completion
With hardscape installation progressing, landscaping and signal installation are scheduled for the fall, keeping the project on track for completion by January next year. Once finished, the revamped corridor will provide a seamless and attractive urban experience, contributing to Avondale Estates’ growing appeal.
Looking Ahead
This exciting transformation will help create a more connected and welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike. Stay tuned for more updates as this revitalization continues to take shape!
