BQ F Existing: Kings Highway at E 12 St
Quentin eastbound dead-ends, forces traffic onto Kings Hwy Traffic blocks intersection on E 12 St at Quentin Rd
Inadequate space on E 12 St between Joyce Kilmer Kings Hwy and Triangle Park – Quentin Rd popular plaza area Sidewalk dead-ends, forces pedestrians into street
31 Option 1: Kings Highway at E 12 St
Convert this block of Extend sidewalk to Quentin Rd to one-way connect to crosswalks westbound, add angled parking
Close E 12 St between Quentin Rd and Kings Hwy (extend park / plaza space and simplifies intersection)
32 Option 2: Kings Highway at E 12 St
Convert this block of Extend sidewalk to Quentin Rd to one-way connect to crosswalks westbound, add angled parking
Keep E 12 St open (no plaza space, and some traffic congestion)
