Drake University has been working with the City of Des Moines on ways to improve pedestrian safety on Forest Avenue. Recent changes include removing parking to allow for greater visibility, improved cross-walk signage from both directions, and most recently, speed feedback signs near 30th and 24th streets. However, these are temporary measures as the city is planning significant improvements to Forest Avenue. More on the research and recommendations for this project can be found here. Work is tentatively slated to begin next year.
