Amherst DPW pitches road, sidewalk safety projects >Published: 7/14/2021 1:19:49 PM
AMHERST A section of North Pleasant Street between North Amherst village center and the University of Massachusetts campus could see significant improvements for pedestrians, while a small portion of the same road would become one way near Kendrick Park in downtown Amherst.
The two projects were presented to the Town Council Monday by Department of Public Works Superintendent Guilford Mooring.
Mooring said enhanced sidewalks on North Pleasant would make the walk to and from UMass safer from the numerous apartment complexes, including North Village, Puffton Village, Brandywine, Presidential and Crestview.
Town Manager Paul Bockelman said no money is set aside for the work. Plans show an 8-foot sidewalk on the west side and a 5- to 6-foot sidewalk on the other side, with bus stops removed and repositioned.
