50th Street and Grange Road Safety Improvement Project
The project involves significant road construction to enhance safety for all transportation modes. Key improvements include new roundabouts (completed 2023), a dedicated turn lane for eastbound 50th to northbound Dale, new medians on 50th Street, wider sidewalks, and narrower traffic lanes to reduce speed. The intersection with Grange Road will receive a new traffic signal with dedicated left turns and new crosswalks. The $3.2 million project began with detours on June 10 and is expected to be completed by the third week of August. Eden Avenue is highlighted as the best local detour route.

it's really trying to make it safer for all modes of transportation
The traffic Lanes will be more narrow that'll hopefully constrict the the flow of traffic and slow people down
after our project you're going to see a new traffic signal here that'll have dedicated left turns new crosswalks on all legs of the intersection
with the road closure on 50th the best route for those local trips is Eden Avenue
