Project Description:
WORCESTER- INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON CHANDLER STREET AND MAY STREET
The limits of this project are bound by Hamill Street and it's intersection with Chandler and May Street to a point approximately 1200 feet west of the northerly intersection of Chandler and May Street. The length of this section of Chandler Street is 0.52 miles, and the length of this section May Street is 0.1 miles. For this project there will be roadway alignment changes to the southerly intersection of Chandler and May to increase safety for all modes of traffic. This will increase sight distance for vehicles, reduce crossing times for pedestrians and provide a bike lane for cyclists. Improvements to the sidewalks and curbing will provide on street parking for the students of Worcester State University (WSU) and the parents of children at local schools. Flashing beacons will be used at critical crossing locations to increase safety of students and children. Islands will be installed in the roadway to reduce lane width and provide a landscape area. Street lighting will be improved to provide proper lighting to areas with crosswalks.
