80 of these features (also called curb extensions or bump-outs) were installed along 9th and 10th Street between Campbell and Park Avenue. The chicanes slow traffic by constricting the travel lanes, and also feature flush curbs and depressed interiors that capture stormwater flowing along the curb. This water feeds a palette of trees and shrubs that shade streets and sidewalks, beautify the neighborhood, and slow drivers down.
