ESS3 Bicycle/Pedestrian Accomodations
Project Update January 2024
As the design to the bicycle and pedestrian accommodations has progressed, adjustments have been made to the pedestrian and bicycle marking layout. The updated layout for East Shore Section 3 is presented in the figure below.
Project Update February 2020
Over the past few weeks, the City of Harrisburg and PennDOT District 8 have met several times to discuss and further develop enhancements and refinements to the pedestrian and bicycle accommodations for the I-83 cross streets along 13th Street, 17th Street, 19th Street and Paxton Street from 13th to 17th Streets as shown on the typical sections below. These typical sections replace those from October 2019 update.

### Project Update October 2019
Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations are continuing to be refined as the project progresses through preliminary engineering. PennDOT’s Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, Tri-County Regional Planning Commission’s Regional Planner dealing with bicycles and pedestrians, the City of Harrisburg, and Swatara and Lower Paxton Townships all participated in coordination efforts.
As part of this coordination, standard signing and pavement markings were developed to assist bicyclists and motorists as they approach various intersections. Bicyclists have the choice to share the lane with motorist or remain on the shoulder. The figure below illustrates the standard situations.
Both East Shore Section 2 and Section 3 Project teams used these standards to develop a preliminary layout of the local roadways, establishing consistency throughout both projects. The preliminary layout for Section 3 is presented in the figure below.
