First round of Columbias nonmotorized pilot project

Thursday, May 25, 2006

The first round of projects has been proposed for Columbia's new $22 million nonmotorized pilot project:

The first round of proposed projects would cost about $2.6 million. They include improvements to 12 major intersections, signs and striping for bicycle lanes, the replacement of paratransit software and the hiring of a project manager to oversee the grant program. . . .

Changes to major intersections - such as Providence and Stewart roads, Providence Road and Stadium Boulevard, and Scott Boulevard and Gillespie Bridge Road - represent the largest portion of the proposed projects at an estimated cost of $2.4 million. Plans call for curb cuts in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and for better signals, crosswalks and signs.

"I am familiar with all of the intersections," Thomas said. "They are all extremely hostile to pedestrians."
