New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) officials will hold a public information meeting on Thursday, January 31, about plans to ease travel conditions and improve safety on Route 33 (Buffalo Road) between Trabold Road and Marway Circle in the town of Gates.
The meeting will be an open house format and will take place at Gates Town Hall Annex, located at 1605 Buffalo Road, from 5 to 8 p.m. The public is invited to attend the meeting and will have the opportunity to ask questions of NYSDOT staff and provide comments on the proposed project.
The project calls for the widening of Route 33 in the area of the Home Depot/Tinseltown Access Road, Wegman Road and Pixley Road, to provide space for additional lanes, including dedicated turning lanes. Sidewalks would be added along the south side of Route 33 from Trabold Road to Marway Circle. The project will also include resurfacing of the existing pavement, upgrading drainage and signals, and installing new landscaping, signs and pavement markings.
Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2014.
The estimated cost for this project is $4 million and will be federally and state funded, according to a press release from the NYSDOT.
The location for the meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. Anyone who requires any other special accommodations to participate in this meeting or wishes to obtain more information about the project should contact the NYSDOT Project Manager Dan Schwind at (585) 272-3368, or via e-mail daniel.schwind@dot.ny.gov by Monday, January 28.
