POPLAR & ALABAMA INTERSECTION

 

This Early Stages Investment (ESI) project at Poplar and Alabama transformed a busy intersection to prioritize safety and accessibility for all users. The improvements — including a pedestrian-activated HAWK signal, artistic crosswalks, upgraded lighting, and protected pedestrian spaces — reflect a commitment to safer, more inclusive streets.

The project promotes slower vehicle speeds, safer walking and biking spaces, improved visibility, and smart traffic signal timing that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists. By integrating these elements, Poplar and Alabama now functions as a community-friendly space where people can walk, bike, and drive with greater safety and confidence.
