UPDATE: https://www.cityofportsmouth.com/sites/default/files/2024-06/CIP-FY25-FY30.FINAL_.FY25.CIP_.Entire%20Document.24.06.27.pdf Consultants assessed converting State Street from one way to two-way traffic flow between Middle Street and Scott Avenue. The initial cost estimate for this work is $1.5M. This only includes reconstruction of traffic signals, minor intersection changes, and contingency and does not address all the necessary roadway and streetscape modifications which will be determined as part of a design effort. It is important to note, the consultant's assessment "does not evaluate impacts on non-vehicular modes (bicyclists and pedestrians), emergency vehicles, and loading zones. Currently, truck loading has been observed to fully or partially block the travel lane due to trucks exceeding the width of loading areas, not fully pulling into loading areas, or using the travel lane instead of loading areas. Additional loading zones and possibly wider loading zones may be required, which would have impacts on the number of parking spaces or the sidewalk widths. Shifting the curb to accommodate wider loading zones would have significant cost implications". The actual cost of this project will not be known until a design is completed. FYI - it is anticipated to be significantly higher than $1.5M.
