Bike Boulevard Under Construction

The 4th Ave/Fontana Bike Boulevard project is currently under construction. There have been several large changes to 4th ave and 6th ave in and near Northwest Neighborhood. The main changes are traffic calming devices along 4th Ave. Speed tables and roundabouts have been placed along 4th Ave between University and Grant Road. The stop signs at intersections have been changed to 4-way yield signs. Plants will be put in the roundabouts, as well as along 4th Ave.

The intersection at Grant Road and 6th Ave has also been changed as of May 20th, 2011. Northbound motor traffic can no longer go straight down Fontana. Cars must either turn right or left onto Grant road. Cyclists can still head north at this intersection. Green painted "bike boxes" are meant to signify a bicycle specific area.

5th Avenue Greenway

The 5th Ave Greenway was constructed from the fall of 2010 through the spring of 2011. The greenway narrows 5th Ave to calm traffic. A wide pedestrian path was installed on the west side of the road and runs from Lee Street to Linden Street. The greenway and chicanes allow stormwater to flow in and feed the native vegetation that has been planted. On the north side of the Bronx Wash there is a path called the Mansfield Park Corridor that connects pedestrians to Mansfield Park. The last step in completing the greenway will be a pedestrian bridge that connects the greenway to the walking path.
