Project Overview

The proposed streetscape project at the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and East/West Elm St includes many elements that focus on improving pedestrian experience and safety including the following:
- Curb extensions (a.k.a. bump-outs) to decrease crossing distance
- Raised intersection (including crosswalks)
- Decorative crosswalks
- Planting beds
- Relocated lighting
- Relocated drainage
- Relocated amenities (trash receptacles, newspaper stand)
- Replaced sidewalks
- New bike racks and benches
Four parking spaces will be eliminated on Greenwich Avenue. This change is necessary for several reasons which are to 1) increase green space, 2) relocate accessible parking stalls, and 3) remove parking stalls that currently require vehicles to back up into the crosswalk.
Anticipated Project Timeline
- Design – Fall/Winter 2020
- Construction – Spring 2021
- Duration – Approximately 8 to 12 weeks
*Note: Business access will be maintained throughout construction
