Downtown McCall: Widen 3rd and Lake Streets
This project is considering a concept to widen 3rd and Lake Streets with additional sidewalks and bike lanes as noted. Additional pedestrian, bike, and parking improvements could be considered and funded as part of a separate, future city project should the corridors exchange ownership. Additional details on planning are shared here and can also be found in McCall’s Long-Term Planning Documents available at: mccall.id.us
Walking, Biking, and Driving in McCall
The City of McCall’s Downtown Master Plan emphasizes safety and mobility for all roadway users with the goal to enhance the pedestrian consumer experience and create opportunities for niche business development. A conceptual sketch of 3rd and Lenora Streets (looking north) shows a potential crosswalk and streetscapes as illustrated in McCall’s Downtown Master Plan. McCall’s typical cross sections for 3rd and Lake Streets are shown as well.

Collection of widening options including the addition of bike lanes, sidewalks, and center turn lanes
Potential improvements on 3rd and Lake Streets would enhance safety, add mobility for pedestrians, and reduce conflict points for vehicles. The improvements are meant to address deficiencies in the pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA compliance, incorporating recommendations from the Deinhard Lane Corridor Exchange Feasibility Study Report and McCall Master Plan.

Opportunity for Potential Traffic and Pedestrian Signals
In the future, traffic signals could be considered on 3rd and Lake Streets, when warranted. Specific crosswalk improvements have not been identified, but options may include mid-block crossing improvements such as:
-
Rapidly Flashing Beacons: Marked crosswalks with pedestrian-activated flashing lights (top graphic)
-
HAWK Signals: Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons temporarily stops traffic and assigns the pedestrian the right of way (bottom graphic)
