Project information
Timeline
We expect to complete design work by early 2026 and make improvements during the 2027 construction season. Projects like this usually begin with intersection work, then pavement work, and finish with restriping.
Potential changes
We are making striping changes to Winnetka Avenue North to improve safety and comfort for everyone that uses the road.
Potential changes include:
- Reducing travel lanes to one in each direction
- Adding a two-way left turn lane or dedicated left turn lane in the middle of the road
- Creating roadway shoulder space for mail and package delivery, garbage pickup, and other curbside services
- Constructing pedestrian crossing improvements such as median islands or bump outs at select locations
- Reconstructing curb ramps to meet ADA standards
