Bull’s Head Revitalization - Street Improvements

Project Description

This project will reimagine the streets adjacent to the Bull’s Head Development Project. This includes the reconfiguration of the intersections of West Main Street/Genesee Street/Brown Street and West Main Street/Chili Avenue/West Avenue/York Street. The new design aims to improve traffic, safety, and equity, with design considerations for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations in the neighborhood, and promote reinvestment in the Bull’s Head Neighborhood. The street project includes new street construction, changes to existing streets, and milling and resurfacing many of the streets adjacent to the development project.

Other improvements would include utilizing a ‘complete streets’ approach throughout streets within the targeted development area to better integrate pedestrians into a safer and more efficient multi‐modal transportation network.

The City Street Design team is working closely with public and private utilities to coordinate relocation needs and new public and private infrastructure to support the redevelopment of Bull’s Head.

Design services are 100% locally funded. Right of way services, construction and inspection of the project are funded with local and federal funds.
