We will need to Mitigate concerns mentioned.We will be Closing the Sidewalk on Allen Street from Shaw Street to Quincy Ave. Alternate Sidewalk Pedestrian use will remain on Shaw Street to Commercial Street to Quincy Ave.

Thank you for reporting this concern. After an initial assessment, our team has determined that additional planning or resources are needed to fulfill the request. The request will remain open until resolved.

This issue was recategorized from Sidewalk Issues to Long-term Planning and Capital Budgeting.

Dave, Highway Department assigned this issue to Bob, Engineering

This remains a long-term planning and capital budget issue. The sidewalk can't be reopened until the wall is repaired. The RFP for the design is underway, but the work is not scheduled (funded) until 2019. (The sidewalk closure signs need to be re-erected.)

The design is under way, with a public meeting planned for this winter.

Any updates on this?

25% Design plans are due shortly, then the public meeting can be held. Construction is still scheduled to start this year.

Thanks Bob! Would be great to see some bike lanes on Allen too. Sidewalks are most important.

Yes, I agree. Bicycle accommodation is part of every project we do, but of course what that means varies from street to street. I expect that bikes will share the road here, with "sharrows" and signs as reminders.

For those who may be following this, here is the information on the meeting.

The public meeting for the Allen Street Reconstruction will be held tonight at 5:00 pm in the Cahill Auditorium at Town Hall.

Any updates? This request is 5 years old. There have been no updates in 3 years.

Allen Street reconstruction is now funded and scheduled for Spring 2024. New public meetings will be scheduled this Spring to reacquaint the public with the project.

@John T, DPW/Engineering is this still happening, there was never a public meeting held this past spring.

Yes, the project is funded and still expected to start Spring of 2024. The public meeting schedule has been pushed back slightly as the design is still ongoing. We currently expect a public meeting to be held some time in September.

Update Please?
