Learn more about how we get thereThe actions listed here outline specific ways to improve the implementation of detours to maintain safe access for all street users. Ensuring clear passage for pedestrians should be the first priority, and bicyclists or those on micromobility vehicles should not be deposited into mixed traffic if they have otherwise been traveling in a separated facility. Ensuring that emergency responders can navigate the space is always a top priority during construction, and detours should be designed to accommodate.
