Riopelle Streetscape Project

Project Details

Riopelle is one of the busiest streets in the Eastern Market, lined with vehicles, businesses, murals, and market events. The goals of this project are to improve mobility, strengthen foot traffic for existing and new businesses, and create a shared street space for all modes of transportation.

What is Going On

Street enhancements for the corridor, from Division to the Fisher Service Drive.

What Changed?

This project included roadway resurfacing, pavement markings, furnishings, ADA accessibility, traditional and festoon lighting, and landscaping. A shared street experience was provided for the corridor between Adelaide and the Fisher Service Drive.

Why Are These Changes Being Made?

The goal of a streetscape project is to achieve a beautiful corridor where neighborhood businesses can thrive and where people feel safe and welcomed. The improvements will better support all forms of transportation including walking, biking, riding transit and taking a car.
