The scheduled improvements you see on University Avenue at Acton Street and Bonar Street are from the 2020 Pedestrian Plan. Luckily, this plan also includes improvements on intersections on MLK Jr Way from Hearst Avenue to Adeline Street.

MLK Jr Way at University, in particular, will see changes like an all-way pedestrian crossing, restrictions on right turns on red, a median refuge, consolidating driveways, a hardened center line, curb extensions, and widening the sidewalk at bus stops. Positive change is to come!

My staff will inquire with the Department of Public Works whether there is an expected timeline for the MLK JR Way Improvements to take place.
