ASCE Lunch and Learn: University Avenue and W 13th Street PD&E
Kimley-Horn is partnering with the City of Gainesville to conduct a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate the proposed reconstruction of University Avenue (SR 26) from NW 22nd Street to SE 31st Street and W 13th Street (SR 25) from SW 16th Avenue to NW 8th Avenue as complete streets, emphasizing the safety, movement, and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians within the study area. Preliminary concepts for the proposed reconstruction of University Avenue (SR 26) and W 13th Street (SR 25) were developed by HDR, Inc. and approved by the City of Gainesville Commission in April 2022. The project includes traffic and safety analyses; extensive coordination with stakeholders, residents, and adjacent property owners; and the design of improvements to balance the needs of all users within a limited right-of-way.
