AGAWAM- ROBINSON PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS (SRTS)

This Safe Routes to School project will improve safety for students and residents who walk and bike in the Maple Street corridor from O'Brien's corner intersection to Walnut Street. A shared use path is proposed along the north side of Maple Street. Three Rapid Flash Beacon crossings are proposed at several locations along the corridor. ADA compliant curb cuts will be constructed as needed. A raised intersection with 3-way stop control is proposed at the intersection of Bridge and Maple Streets. The proposed cross section varies along the corridor. The shared use path will be 10' wide when possible and 8' wide in constricted areas. The treebelt will be maximized to provide a buffer between pedestrians and bicyclists in order to increase comfort and safety.
