The project is focused on improving mobility and safety at the intersection. Plans include realigning the Bayfront Connector ramp onto Buffalo Street as a two-way street. Pedestrian safety improvements will be made on the Bayfront Connector, Buffalo Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue. The city-owned bike trail will also be realigned as part of the project.
The work is expected to be completed during the 2019 construction season.
