DOT proposes alternate entrance for Sagamore Street project; committee seeks community walk-through
Summary
DOT responded on project D900059 (Sagamore Street) with an alternative using an existing avenue entrance to the park, asking for a sidewalk linking DOT facilities to the shared-use path; NYPD and Parks signaled support and the committee requested a public walk-through and the project diagram for review.
The committee received an update on New York State DOT project D900059 (the Sagamore Street/project referenced) on March 11. According to the chair's reading of DOT's reply, DOT proposed an alternative aligning the project to use an existing service/avenue entrance to the park and asked for a new sidewalk connecting DOT's facility to the shared-use path. The chair said NYPD is on board with the solution and parks indicated they would be as well; DOT signaled the alternative would require less tree removal.
Members asked for a community walk-through and for Parks or DOT to share a draft diagram of the proposed routing. One committee member requested that when a walk-through is scheduled the community be notified; the chair and staff agreed to request a diagram and schedule a community visit once Parks provides concurrence. The committee did not take formal action at the meeting but requested follow-up information and outreach.
Next steps: Parks concurrence is needed before the project can move to design-build; committee members asked Parks and DOT to set a date for a community walk-through and to share diagrams with the board and residents.
