LITTLETON- RECONSTRUCTION OF FOSTER STREET

Project includes milling with box widening and resurfacing of approximately 3,850 L.F. of Foster Street to obtain a 32 foot roadway cross section. This includes 5 foot bicycle lanes in each direction. The primary improvement on foster street will be the installation of a new 5’ concrete sidewalk on the north side of Foster Street, beginning at the intersection of Taylor Street extending easterly to the MBTA station and connecting to the existing Balsam Lane neighborhood sidewalk network. Associated work includes improvements to the closed drainage system (addition of short segments of trunk line), installation of granite and asphalt berm, advanced warning signs and pavement marking upgrades to the MBTA at grade crossing, pavement milling, retaining walls at select locations, and guardrail installations. Pedestrian flashing beacons are proposed at the project limit at Balsam Lane and at a mid block crosswalk at Medtronic (private driveway). Pedestrian level Lighting along foster street in front of the MBTA station is included to enhance the user experience and provide additional level of safety and security. Lighting shall be reviewed during preliminary design.
