REVERE- STATE ROAD BEACHMONT CONNECTOR

The project will reduce both northbound and southbound travel ways on State Road in Revere from two lanes to a single lane to provide separated bicycle facilities: a two-way separated bike lane along the west side of the southbound lanes and a one-way parking-protected bike lane along the east side of the northbound lanes. The proposed work will include improvements to bicycle and pedestrian facilities to promote safety and comfort for users by increasing operational space, horizontal and vertical roadway separation, and traffic calming roadway geometry. The proposed design will improve the sidewalk along both sides of State Road providing a direct, safe and accessible connection for pedestrians and cyclists to the Beachmont MBTA station, Revere Beach and businesses along Ocean Avenue. Crosswalks with accessible ramps are proposed across all side streets and signalized intersections to support pedestrian activity within the project area.
