Town Manager Michael Borg and Director of Public Works Mark Hollowell are pleased to announce that the Town of North Attleborough was awarded a Complete Streets grant to improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure along Landry Avenue.
The town received $500,000 as part of the MassDOT Complete Streets Funding Program to update and improve existing road infrastructure along Landry Avenue between the J.W. Martin Elementary School and Route 152.
The project will feature new safety improvements and multimodal accommodations, including five-foot-wide sidewalks on both sides of Landry Avenue and narrowed road lanes for safer bicycle traffic. ADA-compliant curb ramps with tactile warning panels and a high visibility crosswalk with a set of Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFB) will also be added to the existing midblock crossing and at the Route 152 crossing.
This project was ranked priority four in the Town of North Attleborough’s Complete Streets Prioritization Plan and will address safety, ADA accessibility, and pedestrian and bicycle mobility needs.
