Higgins Avenue

Higgins Avenue has some great elements and some not so great elements....  

Issues analysis coming soon....

 

To get started:  We fully support the proposal from the Downtown Master Plan to convert the Higgins Ave. Bridge from a 4-lane bridge with 5' bike lanes and 4' sidewalks to a 2-lane bridge with 9' bike lanes and 9' sidewalks.  It might look something like this:

 

 

Rendering of a 4-lane Higgins Ave. Bridge Converted to a 2-Lane Bridge with Widened Bike Lanes and Sidewalks

 

Rendering from the Downtown Master Plan.

 

We also fully support the conversion of Higgins Avenue from a 4-lane to a 3-lane from Railroad St. to Brooks Ave.  This would allow great bike lanes to be integrated into the street.
