Upcoming changes to Aurora Ave

Hello Aurora Avenue Friends,  

As we continue to develop a shared future vision for the Aurora Ave N and identify near-term projects to advance improvements on safety, we are making changes that seek to reduce the number of pedestrian collisions on the corridor.

We will update several intersections with No Right Turn on Red signage and widen crosswalks along Aurora Ave N to improve visibility of crosswalks and crossing space to reduce collisions between vehicles and people walking.

One of the primary pedestrian collision patterns on the corridor involves conflicts between turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing in the crosswalks at signalized intersections. Restricting right turns on red helps to reduce these conflicts.

We will install No Turn on Red at most signalized intersections throughout the corridor. This will include 59 new no turn on red signs at 17 intersections along the corridor and will upgrade crosswalk markings from 8´ to 10´ corridor-wide.
