Zillah PASS Project

Project Scope

• Enclose open ditches and remove handrail
• Provide pedestrian connectivity on both sides of the road, with the sidewalk and trail located behind the curb and gutter
• Improve pedestrian crossing conditions
• Resurface existing asphalt

Other Project Information

• Zillah Street falls within the City’s MMTD (Multimodal Transportation District). 10-foot-wide multi-use trail connectivity is desired for the full length of the road.
• A potential four-way stop will be analyzed and considered for the intersection at Zillah Street and Bahama Drive/Omega Avenue for pedestrian crossing safety.
• The proposed trail will connect to the Leon County Tram Road trail project, which is currently under design.
• Driver feedback message boards will be separated from the school zone signs so that the boards are used 24/7 instead of only during school hours.

Typical Sections

• The full roadway length will be constructed with curb and gutter.
• All open ditches will be enclosed and replaced with storm pipe covered with landscape.
• From Tram Road to Bahama Drive/Omega Avenue:
• West side - Reconstruct the existing 5-foot-wide sidewalk and add 6-7.5 feet of landscaping between the sidewalk and curb, enclosing the open ditch.
• East side - Add a 10-foot-wide multiuse trail.
• From Bahama Drive/Omega Avenue to Paul Russell Road
• West side - Utilize existing County owned 10-foot-wide trail, remove existing City sidewalk and replace with landscape between the trail and curb.
• East side – Add a 5-foot-wide sidewalk and enclose the open ditch.
