The city released an impact report on Washington Avenue's redesign. Here are the key takeaways.
After nearly a decade in the making, the improvements to Washington Avenue seem to have delivered on many of its proposed benefits, according to a new city report.
“Washington Avenue is extremely complex. It’s in the middle of a dynamic urban area that has a multitude of uses and it would be challenging to find a corridor in the country as complex as Washington Avenue,” said Christopher Puchalsky, In terms of travel times for cars and public transit, shrinking the road from five lanes to three or four lanes didn’t create major changes for cars and public transit.
This suggests the roadway redesign effectively curbs speeding. However, comprehensive data on vehicular crashes is pending, as analysis relies on PennDOT’s statistics, which are not yet available for 2023. Ross emphasized the need for multiple years of data to accurately assess crash trends, with more insights expected in the two-year evaluation and beyond.
