Memphis receives $13.1M from Safe Streets for All program

The city of Memphis has received $13.1 million as part of more than $1 billion in grants through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for the Safe Streets and Roads for All program. Memphis will use the funds to make significant improvements on a high-injury corridor at a six-way intersection, one of the most dangerous in the city. This complex intersection at Lamar Avenue, Kimball Avenue, and Pendleton Street has a confusing array of signals, fading and disjointed pedestrian connectivity, and little guidance on appropriate movements.
