Proposed improvements include such pedestrian enhancements as wider sidewalks, bike lanes, planted trees, trash receptacles, and street lighting. In addition, the project includes pedestrian intersection improvements at the 14th Street and Piedmont Road intersection, and Crescent Avenue intersections with 12th, 13th and Juniper Streets. Improved pedestrian crosswalks are also proposed at 14th Street and 14th Place and a mid-block on Crescent Avenue between 12th Street and 13th Street.
