4 Lane → 3 Lane Conversion + Bike Lanes
Nebraska Avenue is an urban commercial and residential arterial street that was reconstructed between 2007 and 2008 to improve safety for all users. The street was previously a dangerous corridor for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists with a relatively high motorized vehicle crash rate. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) redesigned 3.2 miles of Nebraska Avenue to make it more efficient for buses, better suited for people with disabilities, and safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, all with great success. The rightsizing was accomplished by converting one lane to bike lanes, transforming a travel lane into a combination of medians and left-hand turn bays, and upgrading other infrastructure.
*Average annual before data was taken from 2004 to 2006 statistics, and after data drew from 2009 to 2011 statistics.The before and after report below notes that crashes may have declined further than the statistics above indicate because of aberrant reporting in one year of the after period.
