Infrastructure Improvements New University Ave Bridge is under construction. Upgrade the two signals at University Avenue & Riverside Street, and Pawtucket Street at School Street. These will be constructed next year. Bike lane and sharrows have been installed on Merrimack Street, Pawtucket Street and Fletcher Street. Father Morissette is still planned for a bike lane, but funding is not available yet. The sharrows mean share the road. Bikes can use the full lane on any road, not just the ones with sharrow markings. Bike lanes mean cars can not use that section of the road, but bikes can still use any part of the road. We will be doing an educational effort on the bike lanes and sharrows soon.
Infrastructure Improvements New landscaped public spaces will be created as part of the Bridge project. The old bridge stub will become an overlook, and the corner of Salem and Pawtucket will be expanded with new curb, pavement, plantings, and trees.
