With the anticipated reconstruction of lower Winchester Street in 2025/2026, the West Street corridor will be the last gateway street that has not undergone significant renovation. Besides the obvious deterioration of the road surface, the corridor presents several challenges: - High volume of traffic turning into numerous curb cuts causes inefficient traffic flow and excessive delays - Drivers have difficulty turning left out of Pearl Street, especially during peak traffic hours - Traffic signals throughout the corridor are in poor condition and use obsolete technology, exacerbating traffic delays - Sidewalks are inadequate and do not meet accessible design standards - There are no accommodations for bicyclists - The West Street bridge over the Ashuelot River has structural defects which should be addressed - The corridor provides a poor aesthetic which discourages private investment and redevelopment The project will seek to address these challenges while minimizing impacts to private property.
