The City of Peekskill, NY is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to provide preliminary traffic planning services for its "Broad Street Complete Street" project. Broad Street is a minor arterial street in downtown Peekskill serving more than 10,000 daily vehicles. Broad Street is a high-injury network, with forty-three vehicle accidents in 2023 to date. Multiple pedestrian and cyclist injuries have resulted from collisions with vehicles on or near Broad Street. These planning services will strengthen the project's eligibility for competitive implementation grant funding. If construction is funded, the project will implement USDOT-recommended countermeasures such as medians to reduce pedestrian crossing distances, dedicated lanes for cyclists and transit, and new landscaping to reduce impervious surfaces. The Project will align with the goals of a recent NYS-funded Northern Westchester East-West Corridor Study.
