Sidewalks are present along both sides of the street with varying buffer widths. Six travel lanes that expand to eight or more at intersections create long pedestrian crossings. There are no pedestrian signals at the signalized intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. Striped crosswalks are missing at all intersections and driveway crossings.

Stripe advance stop bars for motor vehicles. Missing sidewalks along roadway. Replace existing parallel bar crosswalks with high visibility crosswalks. Shopping area with high vehicle traffic and potential pedestrian use.
Wide pavement on side street approaches that is not used. Rationale. This segment of Brier Creek Parkway is surrounded by a series of large retail and commercial venues that attract high numbers of visitors, primarily in motor vehicles. There is limited bus service on Brier Creek Parkway. Most bus routes serve the adjacent streets and serve the retail and commercial establishments in the area. The pedestrian network that is part of this circulation system is intermittent along Brier Creek Parkway and generally lacks adequate pedestrian crossing facilities.

Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard between Blount Street and Garner Road Rationale. This segment of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard serves Shaw University, generating a substantial amount of pedestrian traffic. Other adjacent land uses are primarily residential, with several points of access to Chavis Park and the Capital Area Greenway trail system near the Garner Road intersection. Sidewalks buffered by a planting strip serve “along the roadway” pedestrian needs. Four of the six intersections include striped crosswalks and pedestrian signals. Bus stops at Person Street and East Street create additional needs to accommodate riders on the sidewalk and safe roadway crossings. The roadway is comprised of two travel lanes in each direction Overall Need and a center lane that serves as a center turn Overall difficulty in crossing MLK Boulevard. lane or unimproved center median. A bikeway Skewed crossing at East Street. running along East Street turns onto Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and continues east. Long crossing distances.

108 DECEMBER 2012 design concepts provide access management, improve driveway crossings and address ADA- compliance needs. Other recommendations improve bus stop siting and features, and add roadway crossings for companion bus stops. The largest set of improvements is at the Trawick Road intersection, establishing pedestrian crossings on all approaches and adding a pedestrian-only signal phase. Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown on two maps:
