| INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD PROJECT |
|
Objectives
- To encourage business growth in the South Troy area
through improved property access and transportation
facilities.
- To remove commercial truck traffic from the surrounding
residential streets.
It is the goal of this project to meet the above objectives
in the safest and most economical manner possible.
Summary
The proposed
South Troy Industrial Park Road is a major component
of the Working Waterfront, which will significantly
enhance and improve the neighborhood’s quality
of life and the economic health of South Troy. It also
increases the use of the area for industrial purposes
by providing an access to serve freight and passenger
traffic, while avoiding the push of industrial traffic
into surrounding neighborhoods.
A future Transportation
and Community System Preservation Grant will provide
a connection to then Menands Bridge while preventing
traffic from entering the South Troy neighborhood.The
road will be designed to support adjacent uses of the
South Troy Development District for purposes such as
business parks and research facilities while providing
a recreational atmosphere with sidewalks, pedestrian
crossings, bike lanes, and transit facilities.
Financing
- The Federal Highway Administration will fund eighty
percent (80%) of the project
- The New York State Department of Transportation
will fund fifteen percent (15%)
- The City of Troy will fund the remaining five percent
(5%).
Status
The survey,
base mapping, and expanded project proposal have been
completed for the project. The expanded project proposal
has been submitted to the New York State Department
of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration
for review. The review will result in the classification
of the project, which will enable the remainder of the
environmental studies to be performed.
