More Highway Median Landscaping Likely For Ocean City; Fence Possible In Some Areas

OCEAN CITY – The State Highway Administration’s (SHA) spring update before the Mayor and City Council on Tuesday afternoon centered mostly on ongoing pedestrian safety efforts.

SHA Assistant District Engineer Dallas Baker started by announcing the new pedestrian crossing signal installed at 54thStreet, similar to the pedestrian signal on 49th Street, became active on March 21.

“We have had a good response so far,” he said.

Currently, SHA is conducting median modifications on Coastal Highway starting with closing the non-signalized pedestrian depressions.

They need to construct a similar medium on Rt13 between 50 and the railroad bridge.
It is so dangerous with all the people that J walk that stretch, basically daring you to hit them.

They could also consider constructing a median too.
