Springdale Corridor – Main Street Improvement Project

Hello! Thank you for taking our survey in connection with the development of the Springdale Corridor – Main Street Improvement Project. The purpose of this survey is to collect information from you on the corridor that will help guide the alternatives analysis for this project. The proposed project begins at the Route 5 intersection between Ingleside Street and Main Street, continues along Main Street and Springdale Park, and ends at Jed Days Landing Road. The proposed improvements will enhance access along the corridor for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The project is at the planning level and we are seeking your input to help develop options. The proposed project will extend bicycle and pedestrian accommodations that are being constructed on Route 5 (Ingleside Street) by MassDOT to the beginning of Main Street. You may leave more detailed comments at the end of the survey. A virtual public information meeting is scheduled for April 14th at 6 PM to discuss the project in more detail; we hope you will be able to join us! Thank you!
