• replaced the traffic signal at 32nd Street; and
• added and upgraded pavement markings between 32nd Street and East 2nd Avenue to provide two left-turn lanes onto southbound Main Avenue, one shared through/right turn-lane, and a small raised island at the intersection designating a free-flow right turn onto northbound Main Avenue (US 550).
