Olney and Revere Intersections online Open House

• Date/Time: October 8-22
• Link: Online Open House
• Come weigh in on the initial designs for these four key intersections which will have a important bearing on the future livability of midtown and the Orchard district

Some key points to consider:

8th street

• The project team is currently planning a partial multi-lane roundabout at 8th and Olney that will significantly impact Laurel Pocket Park
• Multi-lane roundabout configurations introduce a number of conflict points and pose considerable dangers to people driving, walking and biking in comparison to single lane configurations
• We are advocating for a single lane configuration at 8th and Olney that will improve capacity for future pedestrian, bicycle and automobile traffic while prioritizing safety for all users

4th street

• The plan also includes additional traffic lanes on 4th st on either side of both intersections and increased volume along this corridor
• This is the street that the Midtown Yacht Club is on and sees high pedestrian and bike traffic, we would like to see it remain a people friendly street and continue diverting high volumes of vehicle traffic onto 3rd street where it belongs
• We would also like to see increased protection for people on bikes and on foot at the 4th and Olney and 4th and Revere intersections
