The project includes two areas of construction and incorporates infrastructure for all modes of travel. The Neff and Purcell intersection improvements addresses capacity, efficiency and safety issues at the intersection. The entire intersection will also be leveled to provide ADA compliant crossings. The Purcell Extension will construct the missing section of Purcell Boulevard between Holliday Avenue and Courtney Drive. This portion of the project will also include construction of sidewalks along both sides of Purcell Boulevard between Holliday Avenue and Full Moon Drive, where gaps currently exist. In coordination with the project improvements, the City’s Transportation and Mobility Department will be adding striping for on-street bike lanes on Purcell Boulevard from NE Butler Market Road to NE Robinson Street.
