Project Map and Intersection Designs
Based on community feedback and technical analysis, the City of Saint Paul is recommending bumpouts, half medians, and full medians along Payne Avenue.
- Half Medians at Rose Avenue and Whitall Street
- Half Medians or Pedestrian Refuse Islands give people walking or biking a place to wait when crossing and allow pedestrians to look for gaps in one direction of traffic at a time. Parking along Payne Avenue at the intersection will be reduced.
- Full Medians at Jessamine Avenue, Lawson Avenue and York Avenue
- Full Medians remove left turns and straight movements at the intersection which reduce serious injury crashes. Vehicles can only take right turns at the intersection. Full Medians also allow people walking or biking a place to wait when crossing and allow pedestrians to look for gaps in one direction of traffic at a time. Parking along Payne Avenue at intersections will be reduced.
- Bumpouts at Sims Avenue, Case Avenue, Jenks Avenue, Cook Avenue, Magnolia Avenue, and Geranium Avenue
- Bumpouts or curb extensions improve sightlines for vehicles and pedestrians, shorten crossing distances and can slow turning vehicle speeds by narrowing the roadway. They fill the space where parking is legally prohibited at intersections.
