Project Information

The Garden Corner Curves Corridor is a narrow, constrained roadway which accommodates people driving, walking and biking. The corridor includes SW 105th Avenue, SW Blake Street, and SW 108th Avenue - a map of the corridor is shown HERE. The goal of this project is to develop solutions that balance cost, safety for all users, community needs, environmental impacts, and right-of-way.

          Key Issues

• Narrow  roadway with limited public right-of-way available to widen or construct other improvements
• Road is used by people walking and biking, with no separated path, and little to no shoulder
• Road has sharp curves, limited visibility, there are steep banks/ditches beyond the edge of pavement
