Overview   of Gardner - Design Public Hearing webinar and comment period

A Virtual Design Public Hearing will be published on the MassDOT website below to present the design for the proposed Roundabout Construction at Elm Street, Pearl Street, Central Street and Green Street project in Gardner, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Roundabout Construction at Elm Street, Pearl Street, Central Street and Green Street project. All views and comments submitted in response to the hearing will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of constructing a roundabout at the existing Uptown Rotary, where Elm Street, Pearl Street, Central Street and Green Street meet. Additional work involves reconstruction of sidewalks, lighting, pavement markings, signage, minor drainage improvements and landscaping. Bicyclists will share the roadway with vehicles, and drivers will be reminded of their potential presence through shared-lane markings.

A secure right-of-way is necessary for this project. Acquisitions in fee and permanent or temporary easements may be required. The city is responsible for acquiring all needed rights in private or public lands. MassDOT's policy concerning land acquisitions will be presented in the hearing.
