NEW YORK AVENUE CORRIDOR STRATEGY Improvements at signalized intersections, includ- ing E. Abram Street, E. Mitchell Street, E. Park Row Drive and E. Pioneer Parkway (SH 303), are recommended to include pavement treatments and greater visibility of marked crosswalks. As sidewalks are improved throughout the corridor, curb ramps should be replaced to meet Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act design standards. The unsignalized intersection of New York Avenue and Kimberly Drive has been identified as a loca- tion for pedestrian crossing improvements (see Figure 5.5 New York Avenue Existing Condition Figure 5.11). As redevelopment of the commer- cial properties occurs, increased pedestrian ac- tivity is expected south of the E. Park Row Drive signal, and the number of crossings at unmarked locations should be minimized. Measures to in- crease driver awareness of the Kimberly Drive intersection may include signage, marked cross- walks, and a pavement treatment. To encourage further use of this location, an enhanced cross- ing can be introduced with a pedestrian-activat- ed rectangular rapid flashing beacon.
