VIRGIL AVENUE SAFETY PROJECT
The intersection of Virgil Avenue at Monroe Avenue was identified as a priority intersection because of a high number of collisions resulting in deaths and serious injuries. In 2014, the traffic lanes along the Virgil Avenue corridor, including the intersection at Monroe Avenue, were reconfigured to create a safe space for all modes of travel. In the two years since the project was installed, there have been zero fatal or serious injuries involving a person walking or biking. Corridor-level safety projects, which typically involve a lane reconfigurations that better organize vehicular movements, can produce up to a 41-percent reduction in pedestrian collisions on problem corridors. 14
