(Greenfield, MA) The City of Greenfield has announced the first of two workshops to provide opportunities for feedback from the community on Main Street Redesign project with a new “curb-to-curb configuration of Main Street, including upgrades to pedestrian, bicycle and transit accommodations.”
The workshop will be held on February 9th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the John Zon Community Center, with a snow date of February 21st at the same time and location. At the workshop, safety design aspects of the project will be addressed for all modes of travel, along with infrastructure upgrades.
“If you have ideas about the configuration of parking, crosswalks or bicycle lanes on Main Street, now is the time to weigh in, so that feedback can be included in the design process,” said Mayor Roxann Wedegartner. “Though we’re working toward the 25% design, the time to voice your ideas is now, because many key decisions are made in this stage before MassDOT begins its review.”
A second workshop will be held in June, before the 25% design is completed for MassDOT review.
The construction is estimated to cost $7.78 million to be funded by the state and federal government. Mayor Wedegartner has appropriated $288,900 in capital funds for the engineering and design of the project. Construction may begin as easy as fall 2026.
