Document Description
The project re-stripes lanes from the State Route 198 eastbound off-ramp to the Watson Street intersection to form a dedicated left-turn lane and dedicated through-lane. A short section of raised curb would be installed along the gore to prevent traffic from merging into existing through-lanes on Noble Avenue before the Watson
Street intersection. The same re-striping would be done for eastbound traffic heading into the Court Street intersection. All work would be done within the existing operational right-of-way.
