  • Constructing new sidewalks on the north side of U.S. 98 and a new 10-foot-wide shared-use path on the south side of the roadway
  • Intersection improvements and upgraded pedestrian crossings at the three signalized intersections to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements
