Fourth Street crossing now a bit safer

As promised, traffic and crossing signals have been installed at Interstate 35 and Fourth Street, making the Lance Armstrong Bikeway and popular pedestrian crossing much safer than its previous, longtime incarnation that required a scramble across the frontage road. A press release from the city notes that the crossing, which is also part of the Red Line Trail, was activated mid-June, and now pedestrians and cyclists can cross by pressing buttons on either side of Fourth Street to activate the signals. More info about the city’s bike routes can be found on this interactive bike map.
