25th Street/64th Avenue Corridor Study
Study Purpose:
The purpose of this corridor study is to examine existing and future needs of both 25th Street and 64th Avenue South in Fargo and plan for their future improvements. The study limits on 25th Street will be from 52nd Avenue South to 100th Avenue South and the limits along 64th Avenue South will be University Drive to 57th Street. This study will define a series of recommendations to address the areas' short- and long-term needs. The short-range recommendations will include right of way preservation, traffic control and safety. The long-range needs will include future roadway cross sections, drainage, horizontal alignment, access control and funding.
Due to the growth of this area, it is very important for the city to identify existing and future roadway sections and right-of-way needs and develop access management plans before more development occurs.
