This project aimed to improve bicycle and pedestrian accessibility in Lynn, Massachusetts by completing the on-road extension of the Northern Strand Community Trail. The existing conditions of the roadway were analyzed and examined to identify areas in need of improvements. Initial designs were evaluated based on various criteria and the best solution was selected. The final design was thoroughly detailed and presented to advisors from WPI and Stantec. The recommended designs include separated bike lanes, sidewalk improvements, and signage and signal revisions.
