Jensen Ave Reconstruction from Fig Ave to West Ave

The Jensen Avenue Reconstruction project consists of reconstructing Jensen Avenue between Fig Avenue and West Avenue, a distance of 1.5 miles.  The existing roadway surface is old, oxidized, fraught with alligator cracking, rutted in places, and potholed in others. Reconstruction of the pavement section would enhance safety, provide multi-modal transportation opportunities, reduce flooding, and reset the lifecycle clock of the pavement. 

The current road configuration consists of two 12-foot travel lanes, with curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the north side of the road and an 8-foot shoulder on the south side of the road.  Once reconstructed, the road will have two 12-foot travel lanes, on the north side it will have 8 feet dedicated to on-street parking and a 5-foot bicycle lane, and on the south side an 8-foot combination shoulder and bicycle lane.  Existing curb ramps will be upgraded and curb ramps will be added where they do not currently exist in order to meet ADA requirements.  The reconstructed roadway is expected to provide a life of at least 20 years given appropriate and timely maintenance. 

Currently, the estimated cost of the project is $2.5 million.
