The recommendations from the planning phase (Summer 2017-Spring 2018) include:

• Closure of all slip lanes along Broadway Avenue corridor for pedestrian and transit-user safety.
• Repainting and addition of new piano crosswalks along the corridor.
• Improvement of the intersection at Beechview and Broadway Avenue.
• Public space enhancements to the Plaza at Hampshire Station.
• Upgrade/movement of Belasco Station to become ADA accessible.
• Public art installations at new pedestrian islands at Hampshire and Shiras Stations.
• Reverse-angled parking throughout the main business district for increased vehicle safety.

In the construction phase (Spring 2018-present) the following changes to the presented planning recommendations include: removal of reserve-angled parking, maintain all existing parking formats.
