Project Overview
The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) is planning and designing a quick-build traffic calming project on S 18th St as part of its 2025 suite of Vision Zero implementation projects. The City will identify and implement targeted safety improvements on S 18th St between E Carson St and Monastery Ave to alleviate the safety issues that put this section of S 18th St on the High Injury Network (HIN).
Project Goals
S 18th St sees a particularly high rate of angle, head-on, and sideswipe crashes, which have caused 37 injuries and one fatality in the period from 2019-2023. This project will improve safety for residents and visitors of S 18th St by implementing traffic calming designs which have been proven to reduce crash severity. Additionally, this project aims to improve access to bus stops and create the bike connection into South Hills neighborhoods called for in DOMI's Bike(+) Plan.
