GRAND GORGE _ The state Department of
Transportation will have a informational meeting
Thursday about proposed improvements to
the intersection of state Routes 23 and 30 in the
hamlet.
The meeting will be from 4 to 7 p.m. at the
Grand Gorge Civic Center, 60933 state Route 30,
Grand Gorge.hamlet.
The meeting will be an open-house format,
with DOT representatives available in an informal
setting.hamlet.
The public is encouraged to give opinions,
comments and project alternative preferences
to staff either orally or in writing, officials said.
The proposed work will make changes to
the intersection layout to improve the safety
for pedestrians crossing the street. DOT staff
has developed two alternates to reduce the
distance between opposite curbs in the intersection.
The first alternate makes use of as much of
the existing sidewalk network as possible and
has the smallest impact on the existing intersection,
officials said.hamlet.
The second alternate is more extensive and
replaces the sidewalks and curbs throughout
the intersection. This alternate also reconfigures
some of the parking near the center of the
village to make it safer for motorists.hamlet.
Both alternates would reconstruct curbs and
sidewalks in the intersection, with paving to be
done later in the season as part of the DOT’s
regular pavement maintenance.hamlet.
Members of the community who cannot attend
this meeting and have questions, comments
or would like to discuss the project may
call Thomas Miller at 721-8520 or e-mail him at
tmiller@dot.state.ny.us.hamlet.
