This project developed pedestrian and transit focused improvements on W. Burleigh Street from N. Sherman Boulevard to N. 20th Street. The project focused on making the street safer, more comfortable and more accessible for people walking and taking the bus.

Burleigh Street is home to many residents, shops, community services, parks, and schools. The street is also a major corridor with high frequency Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) Routes. However, the corridor has some of the highest rates of severe and fatal crashes involving pedestrians.

Improvements include:

• Bus bulbs at Sherman Boulevard, 35th, 27th, 24th and 22nd streets
• Detached curb extensions at 41st, 39th , 37th, 35th, 30th, 25th and 24th streets
• Pavement markings throughout the corridor, including high visibility crosswalks

The project also included a High Impact Paving overlay throughout the corridor that extended east to W. Hopkins Street.
