Council discusses crosswalk at Bridal Circle and state milling on Second Street
Summary
Council committee members said a crosswalk from Jefferson School to proposed Bridal Circle housing is feasible and that Second Street milling and paving under a New York State contract is expected next year; members raised short-term concerns about seam pooling on temporary repairs.
Jamestown council members and staff discussed a possible crosswalk on Bridal Circle to connect Jefferson School to nearby housing and previewed a state milling and paving project on Second Street.
A committee member said residents requested a crosswalk from Jefferson School to the Bridal Circle apartment dwellings and that the county has indicated it would permit a crosswalk on the county road. "It is possible and feasible to do it," the committee member said; Public Works staff member Mark said he would get a cost estimate and determine whether curb work is required.
On road projects, Mark said work is starting on drop-inlet repairs near the city line and that milling on Second Street will begin soon as part of a New York State contract. He said the state-level contract process is ongoing and that paving is expected on the state's schedule next year.
Council members expressed concern about pooling along seams after recent temporary work and asked whether the city could apply a temporary sealant to help the road through one winter. Mark said once the state contractor assumes the project, the contractor will be responsible for maintenance and repairs under the contract; the city will continue routine winter operations such as salting.
No formal vote or ordinance was recorded on the crosswalk or milling in the excerpt of the meeting transcript provided; staff said they would obtain cost estimates and continue coordination with the county and state.
