Reminder of What's Coming

At the meeting of the Public Works Board on Thursday, after a lengthy but inconclusive discussion about how property owners can get credit for past repairs to their sidewalks, the Justin Weaver, mayor's aide and ADA coordinator, led the board through a review of the plans for the "pedestrian plaza" at the western terminus of Warren Street, at the entrance to Promenade Hill. This is the illustration that was the basis of that review. (Click on image to enlarge.)

The "plaza" will be raised four inches from the road surface on Front Street and Warren Street. The image above can be found on page 15 of the Hudson Connects Connectivity Plan. 

David Marston, who is a member of the Public Works Board, commented that he liked the wildflower plantings. One has to wonder who will be charged with the design and maintenance of these beds. 

The work on the connectivity plan, which is the City's major project funded by the DRI (Downtown Revitalization Initiative), is suspended for the winter, but it expected to be completed in the spring.
