Crossing loca on links bike boulevard segments on Fort Worth Street to the north and Reid Drive to the south
On-street parking lane on the south side of Doddridge St. is recaptured between Fort Worth Street and Reid Drive to
provide a two-way sidepath between the two streets
A curb extension is constructed in the parking lane at the western end of the sidepath
