Project overview

Norwood Avenue between Main Avenue and Arcade Creek is a critical corridor serving local neighborhoods, as well as students and businesses. However, it is part of the City’s High Injury Network, corridors with a high number of transportation related severe injuries and fatalities, and identified as a high priority project in the City’s Transportation Priorities Plan.

The City was awarded a competitive planning grant to review data and work with the community to develop a plan to address safety and mobility on the corridor.

The goal of the plan is to identify a data driven, community supported vision for a future Norwood Avenue, inclusive of all users and reflective of the needs of the community it serves, eliminating barriers to jobs, housing, and services.

Having a Council adopted plan ensures the City is eligible for competitive grant funding for any next phases such as Preliminary Engineering Design, Environmental Clearance, Final Design and Construction.
