The cross-section through the project area will include two through travel lanes in each direction, an eastbound displaced left turn lane, a westbound conventional left turn lane, bicycle lanes (6 ft. wide) in each direction, and sidewalks (5-ft. wide) on both sides of the roadway. A new traffic signal will also be installed at the location where the displaced left turn crosses the opposing through lanes.
