Safe Routes to School Project Update

May 27, 2020 – SRTS Project Update:

The state contractor RM Pacella for the SRTS High Street project is continuing to work on upgrading the catch basins and stormwater drainage pipes in the vicinity of the High School.  Looking ahead to the coming weeks, the contractor plans to complete the drainage work near the High School area by around June 10, and will then return to the western end of the project in the Tyng/Toppans area of High Street to begin addressing the curbing and sidewalks.  The intention is for the contractor to address the area around the High School prior to the rest of the project corridor in order to avoid the congestion when school is in session and students are arriving or departing for the day.  The MassDOT Resident Engineer, the contractor’s Superintendent, and the City’s Senior Project Manager have continued to coordinate and discuss the project and its timing with various abutters.
