A lot of work went into repaving Dexter Avenue North from Fourth Avenue North to Roy Street, and the attention to detail shows. Maybe we’re just paving nerds, but darned if it doesn’t look pretty! Stand outs among the many improvements include two new crosswalks, dedicated transit islands at 10 of 12 bus stops and a buffered bike lane on each side of Dexter Ave N. Here’s a trip down memory lane (all modes of travel welcome):
This complete streets project is a significant achievement in how it balanced the needs of cyclists, pedestrians, vehicles and mass transit – guided by the bicycle and pedestrian master plans. Look for final touches of trees in the bus islands and plants in the rain garden over the next several weeks.
