Project Status (Updated March 2019)
|
The City-NYSDOT contract for the project has been executed. The NYSDOT procurement process for selection of the design and engineering consultant was completed. The selected firm is Greenman Pederson, Inc (GPI). A City-GPI contract for design and engineering services has been executed. GPI has begun survey work on the street, and a kick-off meeting with NYSDOT to discuss the design process and project schedule was held in November 2018. A Project Advisory Committee of local people was assembled by the City and began meeting in early 2019 to discuss the design process. The Project Advisory Committee reviewed alternatives presented by GPI and came to a consensus on the preferred alternative design. A public meeting is scheduled for March 5th, 2019 at 4:30 pm at the George Washington School to review the preferred alternative and get feedback from the public. Snow date for the March 5th meeting is March 12th. Click the link below for more details on the public meeting. It is anticipated that design will be complete in the fall of 2019 and that construction will take place in 2020.
