Village to apply for Complete Streets grant to upgrade Meridich Avenue school corridor
Summary
The board authorized a Westchester County Complete Streets grant application to make earlier temporary traffic delineations permanent along Meridich Avenue: curb bump-outs, crosswalk upgrades, signal and sidewalk improvements. The draft project carries an estimated local match of about $788,000.
The trustees authorized staff to submit an application to the Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Grant for the Meridich Avenue school corridor.
Staff (speaker 7) summarized the proposal: converting temporary plastic delineators and pavement markings installed over recent years into permanent hardscape features, constructing curb bump-outs, upgrading crosswalks and traffic signals (including improved pedestrian phasing), improving sidewalks and curbs, adding plantings and wayfinding signage, and addressing drainage improvements where required. The corridor work was described as covering the area between Bradford Avenue and New Street, including several traffic signals the village manages.
Trustees asked about the local match and project responsibilities; staff said the village's local share could be about $788,000 but that the precise breakdown will be refined as design proceeds. Trustees moved to authorize applying for the county grant; motion passed by voice vote. Staff will continue design work with the county planning department and the village grant consultant.
