FINAL DESIGN / ENGINEERING FOR CROSSWALKS AND SIDEWALK BUMP - OUTS

2026-11-03

The Town of Lyndon will implement comprehensive pedestrian safety improvements along Depot Street , addressing critical safety concerns at four key crossing locations : the Main Street intersection , west and east of the Darling Inn senior housing , and the Broad Street intersection . Each location will receive safety upgrades consisting of a highly visible crosswalk with sidewalk " bump - outs " ( where feasible ). The lighting in the area will also be upgraded to include decorative , brighter LED lights , but that is a separate piece of the project and is not part of this RFP . The above components address documented safety challenges along this vital corridor , where heavy truck traƯic currently traverses a designated 25 mph zone , pedestrian visibility is sometimes compromised , key intersections lack adequate traƯic controls , and existing crosswalks present excessive crossing distances . The designed improvements will create safer connections between vital community destinations , including the Town Library , Darling Inn senior housing , and numerous local businesses . The enhancements directly respond to community priorities identified through the Better Connections program , where " safer crosswalks " and " attractive lighting " emerged as top desires in public surveys . Beyond immediate safety benefits , the project will support local businesses by creating natural " friction " to slow through - traƯic — a key stakeholder concern — while encouraging increased pedestrian activity through improved safety and aesthetics .
