Orange County has initiated a bicycle-pedestrian safety study on Hiawassee Road between Balboa Drive and Silver Star Road. The study will assess existing conditions and make recommendations for the safety, accessibility, and comfort of all users focusing on pedestrians, cyclists and transit users and their interaction with other modes of transportation. The proposed project is approximately 1.5 miles in length.
The study will provide an in-depth technical evaluation of the existing traffic signal operations and signage with associated supporting accommodations from Balboa Drive to Silver Star Road. The study is to review the needs for additional pedestrian, bicyclist, and transit enhancements to facilitate crossing Hiawassee Road by bicyclists and pedestrians. This project will take both existing and future development with bicyclist-pedestrian safety into consideration.
