35th & 36th Street, Blaisdell Avenue to Chicago Avenue
Project overview
The project will rebuild about 1.6 miles of 35th Street and 36th Street. These streets run from east to west and the work will happen between Blaisdell Avenue and Chicago Avenue.
The area where the work will happen has mostly single-family housing with a mixture of apartment buildings and businesses at each end. Right now, there's a sidewalk on both sides of the street, two lanes for cars, and two parking lanes.
This project is a full reconstruction project, involving the entire right-of-way. This will include:
- new sidewalks,
- ADA pedestrian ramps
- consideration of bicycle accommodations
- new pavement
- new curb and gutter
- utility improvements.
The project will also include signal improvements, new signage, and new pavement markings, as needed.
Project purpose
- incorporate ADA compliant curb ramps
- address sidewalk obstructions
- add bumpouts
- increase greenspace
