Greenwood Street between Morningside Avenue and Chislett Street serves as part of the business district of Morningside with numerous pedestrian generators, including PRT and school bus routes. To improve intersection safety and reliability the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure is planning on install quick-build curb extensions at each intersection.

In addition the Department will remove the traffic signal at Morningside Avenue and Greenwood Street. The signal equipment has deteriorated, potentially leading to increased unreliability and operational issues at the intersection. DOMI previously identified this intersection as a potential location for conversion from signal control to all-way stop control, so a traffic control study has been completed to determine if the traffic signal is still warranted at this location. This traffic study follows criteria set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which provides guidance to traffic engineers nationwide about such decisions.

Based on the equipment issues and traffic control study, DOMI recommends the traffic signal be removed and replaced permanently with all-way stop control.

A construction date is not yet set however the planned is sequence of work is as follows:

• Traffic signal will flash red for 30 days to introduce the all-way stop control with temporary stop signs installed
• After 30 days of flash, the traffic signal will removed and permanent stop signs installed
• During the flashing period, the quick build curb extensions will be installed

Once determined, a construction date will be announced on this project page.
