Improvements include intersection upgrades at or near the Chestnut Street and West Broad Street/Route 7 intersection, Haycock Road and West Broad Street/Route 7 intersection, and Haycock Road and Schools’ Access Road Intersection; a HAWK (high-intensity pedestrian activated crosswalk) on Haycock Road; sidewalk widenings; bus stop enhancements; bicycle access upgrades; and utility undergrounding and relocation. The timing of the project will be coordinated with the new George Mason High School construction and future Little City Commons development.
