This might not look like much, but it’s a real start on our long awaited project for Niagara Street. Pictured here is one bike lane on the south side of One Robert Rich Way, base of West Ferry Street into Broderick Park. Clear sailing for our bicyclists heading into the park in the future!
Yes, it’s a late start for 2018. The project was tied up in Albany for far too long so here is the scope for this year:
- Niagara Street from Hampshire Street to the Bridge over Scajaquada Creek –
- Busti Avenue from Columbus Parkway to Niagara Street –
- Robert Rich Way from the Lift Bridge to Niagara Street
The work will consist of milling the pavement; hot mix asphalt concrete inlay; PCC pavement; spot replacements of the sidewalk and curb/underdrain; new curb ramps; curb extensions at all signalized intersections; improvements to the drainage system; green infrastructure treatments; a new street lighting system; a protected bicycle lane (cycle track); replacement of existing traffic control signals; a new traffic control signal; signs and pavement markings; landscaping/tree plantings and street amenities; site restoration and other incidental work.
