Project summary

Capuzzi Consulting Group staff served as Project Manager (Matt Capuzzi) for this pedestrian connection project in the heart of National City.  In the existing condition, National City Boulevard had pedestrian crossings at signalized intersections at 12^th Street and 16^th Street.  However, the new National City Library is at 14^th Street on the east side of National City Boulevard.  This made for an inconvenient trip for residents living on the west side of National City Boulevard wanting to walk to the library.  The project implemented pedestrian improvements at the intersection of National City Boulevard and 14^th Street to enhance the connection to the library and Kimball Park.  The improvements included curb extensions, RRFBs, high-visibility continental crosswalks, and a pedestrian refuge island.
