- Safety Need: This project was identified as part of a stormwater project. Staff tied the stormwater work with community-reported concerns along 19th St N. While the addition of sidewalks would have been ideal for safety benefits, staff were not able to include sidewalks within the scope or budget of this short-term, quick-build project. However, the curb extensions significantly improve the crossing and were within scope, so we took advantage of the opportunity.
