The Town of Arlington Department of Planning & Community Development is holding a public meeting to share information and gather feedback about the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Project for the Stratton Elementary area. In 2019 the Town received a Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Infrastructure Project Award to fund new sidewalks, sidewalk repairs, and safe roadway crossings near the Stratton Elementary School. The updated project scope includes a fully accessible walking route for children and others walking in the Stratton School area along Hemlock Street between Brattle Street and Dickson Avenue, along Dickson Avenue between Hemlock Street and Mountain Avenue, and along Mountain Avenue to Wheeler Lane. The revised estimated project cost is $1,072,752.
Design and construction of this project is funded by MassDOT, with construction funding available for Federal Fiscal Year 2024. The Town is working with MassDOT’s design consultant, Pare Corporation, as it develops the project through various stages of design prepare for construction. The public meeting will be an opportunity for the community to hear about the project’s progress since the award was announced and provide. Pare Corporation is seeking guidance on issues around tree impacts; on-street parking impacts; sidewalk accessibility; project scope and length; and location of pedestrian crossings.
