About the Project

The Neighborhood Complete Streets program implemented improvements to the existing sidewalk, curb ramps and transit stops at three locations on 28th Street South between South Meade Street and 26th Street South.

The location received a high score and ranked highly among approximately 200 publicly nominated neighborhood street locations, using an objective criteria to sort and rank potential projects.

The improvements provide more comfortable, accessible pedestrian crossings and transit stops, that narrowed the roadway and shortened the crossing distances at three key locations in this transit corridor. The project also created an estimated net of five parking spaces.

Activity in the area includes Gunston Middle School and Community Center, the Gunston Bubble, park and playing field space, and nearby retail, in close proximity to this medium density residential neighborhood.
