Mill Street

Weston & Sampson was selected to develop a Master Plan for improvements to the Mill Street corridor in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Project goals included exploring opportunities to improve pedestrian accommodations, ADA compliance, bicycle accommodations, safety, aesthetics, stormwater management systems and new green infrastructure, and providing utility upgrades and structural improvements to the roadway cross-section. Our team completed an inventory of the existing conditions and observed current traffic movements (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians). Using available GIS mapping and other resources, we reviewed existing data such as plans, traffic reports, and studies. We prepared conceptual design drawings to illustrate the implications of reducing excessive pavement width and developing complete street improvements, which include accommodations for all users and enhanced access to the recreation resources and other corridor land uses.
