East Ave Sidewalk Project Public Info meeting is Weds., 5/25/16

The Town of Pittsford’s Public Information Meeting regarding the proposed East Avenue Sidewalk Project is Wednesday, May 25 at 7pm at St. John Fisher College in room 100 of the Wegmans School of Nursing (3690 East Avenue); attendees may park in Lot F.

Town engineers have completed preliminary plans for a sidewalk on East Avenue, based in part on suggestions received from residents in the immediate area. The meeting will provide detailed information on the preliminary plans for Phase I of the potentially 3-phase project; comments will be welcome on all potential phases of the project and may also be made to Town Public Works Commissioner Paul Schenkel via email at pschenkel@townofpittsford.org or via phone at (585) 248-6250. A concept map of the project can be found here.

The focus of the Town’s East Avenue Sidewalk Project is to provide safe pedestrian access along East Avenue from the adjoining neighborhoods, colleges and the Village of Pittsford. Phase I of the proposed project includes sidewalk construction along the west side of North Main Street/East Avenue from the Village line to the south entrance of Kilbourn Road. Phase II would include sidewalks on the west side of East Avenue from Kilbourn Road to Fairport Road, and along the south side of East Avenue to the Brighton town line. Phase III of the project would construct sidewalks along the east side of East Avenue from Alpine Drive to Fairport Road, along the north and south sides of Fairport Road from Murphy Hall (near the Fairport Road exit of Alpine Drive) to the East Avenue intersection, and continuing along the north side of Fairport Road to the north entrance of Kilbourn Road.
