Council to apply for $1 million TIP grant for Crescent Avenue multiuse path
Summary
The city plans to apply for a $1,000,000 Transportation Improvement Program grant with a $200,000 local match to build a one-mile, multiuse 8–10-foot asphalt path parallel to Crescent Avenue linking Route 9 and Nelson Avenue; the path is meant to serve cyclists, pedestrians and nearby housing developments.
The Office of Planning and Economic Development proposed applying to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for a $1,000,000 grant, with a $200,000 local match funded from the Complete Streets line, to support construction of the Crescent Avenue Connector.
The council described the project as a roughly one-mile, 8–10-foot-wide asphalt multiuse path parallel to Crescent Avenue between Route 9 and Nelson Avenue that will have lanes for both cyclists and pedestrians and provide amenity access for an upcoming affordable housing development and local businesses. As the chair summarized: "The project will involve constructing a 1 mile long, eight-ten foot wide asphalt, path parallel to Crescent Avenue and between Route 9 And Nelson Avenue." The council said it will vote on applying for the grant at the next meeting.
