This project was chosen based on the crash history for vulnerable road users (6 crashes including 1 pedestrian in 4 years) and high concentration of pedestrian generators in the neighborhood. It is adjacent to Squirrel Hill business district and Yeshiva School.

• Raised intersection to improve yielding compliance and slow vehicular speeds through the intersection
• Painted curb extensions and flex posts on Forbes Avenue to daylight intersection and prevent illegal parking
