What’s Next?  5th & Main Ave

Last week Bismarck’s NDDOT ND Moves demonstration project wrapped up.  The short-term project used low-cost materials to test pedestrian bulb-outs and highly visible crosswalks.  NDDOT will now look at the before and after data and study whether the project improved safety and accessibility, and how the configuration may have affected traffic etc.  Next the data will be presented to the Bismarck City Commission for consideration.
