The Project includes the widening of the Western Way right-of-way (ROW) from Van Buren Boulevard to Harley Knox Boulevard (approximately 0.5-mile) with four 12-foot wide through lanes, including left turning lanes at the intersection of Nandina Avenue and Western Way. The Project would install new sidewalks and a retaining wall as well as relocate traffic signals, streetlights, crosswalks, ADA compliant ramps, sidewalks, and curb and gutter within the ROW.
