There are several tangible benefits to the project: improvements to pedestrian access and comfort, addition of barrier protected bike facilities, shorter and safer pedestrian crossings, addition of on-street parking and minimizing crashes that occur due to a two-way street system like left turn t-bone and head-on crashes. Considering GWW and Jadwin are arterial streets, it is necessary to maintain movement of commuters at existing and 20-year projected traffic volumes. The result is a reduction of 10 vehicle lanes to 6 vehicle lanes. The one-way street system provides the necessary space to accomplish these goals and optimizes the traffic flow during peak morning and afternoon traffic volumes.
