9th Street Pedestrian Crossing Project

The 9^th Street Pedestrian Crossing Project is planned in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and will construct an enhanced pedestrian crossing on 9^th Street, including flashing beacons, somewhere within the corridor between Buchanan Avenue and Grant Avenue (area shown in the map on this page). This project is identified as a High Priority (Project P3) in the City's Transportation System Plan and is supported by the City’s Strategic Operational Plan that prioritizes improving the safety and walkability of the pedestrian system.

City staff identified several potential locations for the crossing and asked for input from the community through a questionnaire. The questionnaire closed on Tuesday, December 3.

A map of the crossing location options can be found here. Staff also developed a matrix showing how each location performs against several important considerations. The matrix is available here.

Following the questionnaire, City staff will consider feedback when selecting the crossing location that will move forward into design. After technical analysis and project refinement, the design and construction schedule can be developed and will be shared.
