Project Description:
PITTSFIELD- ASHUWILLTICOOK BIKE TRAIL EXTENSION, CRANE AVENUE TO MERRILL ROAD
Project includes an approximate 2,200 linear foot extension of the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, beginning at the Phase 1 terminus Crane Ave parking lot continuing southerly ending on the south side of Merrill Road (Route 9). This Phase II includes providing a 10' wide paved path for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized users. Improvements associated with this off-road facility include spur connections to Dalton Ave sidewalk, the "Shops at Unkamet Brook", and Merrill Road sidewalk. A HAWK signal will be provided at Route 9 to safely move users across Merrill Road. ADA ramping and railings will be included at the Dalton Avenue connection to make up elevations changes near the overpass. A trailhead is proposed at Merrill Road with a limited number of "convenient spaces" handicap accessible spaces designated only for those with disabilities and maintenance vehicles. Wayfinding signage will be included to support connections to local businesses. Improvements to Dalton Ave are limited to short segment of sidewalk, guardrail repair and trail signage. Merrill Road will have traffic signage and markings replaced as well as a short segment of milling to provide a smooth surface for users crossing.
