OSWEGO â Mayor Billy Barlow announced a proposal to re-design East First Street in downtown Oswego, between East Bridge Street and East Cayuga Street.
The proposed re-design will condense through traffic from four lanes, to two lanes, and replace parallel parking with a diagonal parking format, similar to West First and West Second streets in downtown Oswego. The re-design is intended to calm traffic, introduce additional greenspace and beautification, and allow for more parking in an area of the city currently experiencing a significant amount of construction and re-development.
Two of the cityâs large Downtown Revitalization Projects (DRI) have appeared along East First Street, including the indoor Lake Ontario waterpark and the new construction of a 70-unit mixed-use building, including 3,500 square feet of ground-level commercial space.
