Covington Pace St. Road Diet & Streetscape

This project, identified as a priority during the Hwy 278 Corridor LCI Process, connected Covington’s square to the Hwy 278 commercial district by adding pedestrian and bicycle facilities where none previously existed. It involved a road diet for Pace Street, reducing it from four lanes to three, and introducing 5-foot-wide bicycle lanes, new sidewalks, and milling, resurfacing, and restriping the roadway. Additional improvements included landscaped medians, pedestrian crossings, ADA-compliant curb ramps, lighting, street furnishings, and tree plantings, along with curb extensions and a flexible landscape strip to accommodate future redevelopment.
