📣 Residents on Lydia St! 📣 You have received a mailer from MobileGR regarding a street calming treatment on Lydia St.
Lydia St and Bissell/College are topics the neighborhood association hears about frequently. No solution is perfect, nor will any one solution solve every problem; we have to increment our way to a better street system.
MobileGR needs to hear from citizens regarding this treatment by August 31st - so please mail your responses back. If you have any questions let us know (hpngr@gmail.com).
The green area on Lydia across from Benson is a curb bump out. Not only is visually narrowing a street the single most effective way to reduce traffic speed, this will also reduce the crossing distance at Benson Ave. Across Lydia St from Benson Ave is the north/rear entrance of Highland Park. It is a future aspiration to improve this north entrance to an path. The idea of connecting Highland Park with the The Gulch and the CLAC [*1] via Benson Ave and Union Ave is an intriguing idea.
The dotted lines indicate existing and potential trails/paths:
