The scope of this project is to develop a “complete street” design for Maplewood Avenue between Congress Street and Raynes Avenue. This project is identified as a high priority project in the City’s 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the goals are to enhance the comfort, appeal, and safety for all travelers along this approximately 1/2 mile corridor.

According to the City’s Complete Streets Policy (adopted in October 2013), the City has committed to “plan for, design, construct, operate and maintain appropriate facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit vehicles and riders, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities in all new construction and retrofit or reconstruction projects,” and to use the best and latest design standards available.
