Example Deficiencies and Potential Solutions Issue: 2. Poor pedestrian routing and circulation Opportunities: Add signing to avoid south sidewalk dead end Consider ramping at Foster overpass versus existing stairs Include full pedestrian facilities with any new intersection design

Example Deficiencies and Potential Solutions Issue: 25. Crash rate is higher (3.05) than statewide averages (2.41) Opportunities: Propose safety improvements such as refined signal timing, signal coordination, and eliminating permitted left turn movements Review and implement NDOT Roadside Safety Audit recommendations
