Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero

Project description

The Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero Safety Project is located on Marysville Boulevard between Arcade Boulevard and North Avenue. Improvements identified for the Marysville Boulevard corridor include a road diet, bicycle lane gap closures, upgrading existing bike lanes to protected bike lanes, sidewalk improvements, pavement repair, upgrading existing unsignalized intersections to controlled crossings, modifying existing traffic signals, a new pedestrian signal, and signing and striping.

In addition to the improvements identified in the Vision Zero effort, the City is considering improvements to the Marysville Boulevard and Del Paso Boulevard intersection which may include a roundabout or other intersection modifications. An Intersection Control Feasibility Report will be prepared to evaluate intersection control alternatives at this intersection to determine the feasibility of any future improvements.

Benefits

The project’s limits were identified in the Vision Zero Top 5 Corridors Plan as one of the top 5 corridors in the City with the highest number of fatal and serious crashes. Between 2009 and 2017, 19 crashes within the project’s limits resulted in a fatality or severe injury, three of these crashes involved a bicyclist and 11 of the crashes involved a pedestrian. The Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero Safety Project will address this collision history by slowing down automobile traffic, modernizing signal equipment, and improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Cost and funding

The estimated total project cost is 20 Million. Funding for preliminary engineering and environmental clearance is provided by local Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Funds. The City is currently seeking grant opportunities to fund final design and construction.

Schedule

The project is currently in the preliminary engineering and environmental clearance phase. Construction is contingent upon receiving State/Federal construction funds.
