Public Meeting Notice  Worcester - Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements on Pleasant Street

A Public Informational Meeting will be held by MassDOT to discuss the proposed project in Worcester, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed project. All views and comments made at the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of the reconstruction of existing sidewalks and construction of new sidewalks, installation of ADA curb ramps, incorporating new pedestrian crossings and adding bicycle facilities across Pleasant Street.

The concept proposes 5-foot minimum bike lanes in each direction of travel with a buffer in between the bike lane and 12-foot travel lanes. The pavement will be resurfaced, with ADA curb ramps installed while the bus stop locations will remain and be coordinated with the Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA). This project has been provided in accordance with applicable design guides.

MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, open or closed captioning for videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats, such as audio tapes, Braille and large print), as available.  For accommodation or language assistance, please contact MassDOT’s Chief Diversity and Civil Rights Officer by phone (857-368-8580), fax (857-368-0602), TTD/TTY (857-368-0603) or by email (MassDOT.CivilRights@dot.state.ma.us). Requests should be made as soon as possible prior to the meeting, and for more difficult to arrange services including sign-language, CART or language translation or interpretation, requests should be made at least ten (10) business days before the meeting.
