2/23 Council Agenda - Franklin/Marginal Intersection Improvements

[John Clark]

Hey folks,

Wanted to flag this item on Monday's council agenda - the first read of an agreement between MDOT and the city for improvements at Franklin/Marginal. Sounds like signal equipment will be upgraded, as well as adding a crosswalk on the "east side" of the intersection (sounds like from the park-and-ride to the Bayside Trail going into East Bayside) and "blankout signage" that activates when pedestrian are crossing. Additionally, it sounds like there will be some improvements at Franklin/Fox such as multi-modal detection for the signals.

Sounds like there's the potential for the city to ask more be added to the project (as long as the city pays for it and DOT approves), but not sure how likely that is with projects like this. 

Small improvements, I guess.
