19th-Converse-and
Pershing (Underway)
View the 19th/Pershing/Converse Conceptual Plan
These intersections
are located near the geographical center of the City. The location
is complicated,
not only by the flat
angle of the intersecting streets, but also by the developments
located adjacent to the intersection. One of the major issues
is the close proximity between the intersections of Pershing
Blvd. and 19th Streets on Converse Avenue. As a result of
the growth in the north and northeast areas of the City, and
the
traffic barrier created by the airport, the north (Converse)
leg is now the busiest leg of the intersection with volumes
exceeding 19,000 vehicles per day.
This plan will offer long range alternatives to improve the
traffic. The specific items to be included in the study may
include recommendations to modify driveways,
intersections, parking, signing, striping, traffic control at intersections,
signal timing and signal phasing. In addition, a public relations program will
be created to providing the information and obtain feedback from the public.
I’d
like to be informed about this study as it progresses
