<br />VS served as design consultant for the pedestrian upgrades at
<br />the intersection of 4`h Street and Rogers Street, as well as the
<br />intersection of Allen Street and Walnut Street in Bloomington, IN.
<br />VS design staff worked with the City to solicit public input on the
<br />project, including a public information meeting with all stakeholders.
<br />The project included PROWAG compliant pedestrian and bicycle
<br />crossings, new curb & gutter, new sidewalk, upgraded pavement
<br />markings, and installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
<br />(RRFB) with push buttons to provide safer crossings for pedestrians
<br />and bicyclists. The intersections also included separate push buttons
<br />adjacent to the roadway so that bicyclists could trigger the RRFB
<br />without encroaching on the sidewalk. The 4`" Street and Rogers
<br />Street intersection was also updated to narrow the lanes and
<br />reduce the crossing distance. The Allen Street and Walnut Street
<br />intersection had push buttons installed in the median to provide a 2
<br />stage crossing to improve pedestrian safety while only impacting one
<br />direction of traffic.
