What's happening
The intersection of Glenbrook Road and Church Street is undergoing a comprehensive redesign, with the goal of improving safety, walkability, and transit access. The project includes a complete redesign of the intersection, traffic signal upgrades, new sidewalks, improved roadway and pedestrian lighting, and raised crosswalks [2]. The city is also planning to replace deteriorating sidewalks along Glenbrook Road, with new, ADA-compliant walkways [2]. The project is part of a broader effort tied to the city’s Vision Zero pledge, launched in 2022, which aims to end all traffic-related fatalities by 2032 [2].
The project is funded through a $5 million budget, according to reports from August 2026 [2]. The city’s Transportation Planning and Engineering Department is overseeing the project, with Luke Buttenwieser, Senior Transportation Planner, serving as the primary contact [2]. The redesign is planned for implementation in the coming years, with the project currently in the planning phase as of August 2026.
