SCHENECTADY — The Karen B. Johnson Central Library will be the venue for a public discussion on Tuesday, focusing on the proposed enhancements to the Jay Street pedestrian walkway and the extension of the Alco Heritage Trail.
These two projects are integral components of Schenectady’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, a project that received a $10 million state grant in 2019 for the refurbishment of key areas in the downtown region. The Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority is the supervising body for both projects.
In the first month of this year, the Metroplex board granted a contract worth $154,766 to Delta Engineers, Architects, & Land Surveyors. Their role is to supervise the design and contract bidding for the extension of the Alco Heritage Trail, which currently stretches from Mohawk Harbor to River Street in the Stockade neighborhood.
The plan is to extend the trail up to the Front Street Park and set up an informational kiosk and a small plaza at Mohawk Harbor. This will serve as a gateway providing navigational assistance and other tourist-related information for those using the Empire State Trail, a vast trail system that connects Albany to Buffalo and stretches from New York City to the Canadian border.
The project also includes the reopening and upgrading of the Alco tunnel that runs under a set of train tracks parallel with Erie Boulevard. The tunnel will be equipped with new lighting and will enhance connectivity between Erie Boulevard and Jay Street, providing a link for pedestrians and cyclists to the Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail.
For the Jay Street Pedestrian Walkway, the plan includes the installation of new lighting and signage at the entrances to the corridor. Additional features such as trash receptacles, plantings, and seating will be installed along the path that connects Jay Street to State Street and is a popular spot for cafes, retail shops, and offices.
The public forum will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the McChesney Room at the 99 Clinton St. library. Preliminary concepts for each project can be viewed on the Metroplex website, schenectadymetroplex.org.
Public feedback on both proposals is encouraged and can be submitted via email at info@schenectadymetroplex.org, or by calling 518-377-1109 ext. 3.
I agree with this decision, it’s important for the community to be informed about these projects.
I agree with holding a forum to discuss the DRI projects, transparency is key in these types of developments.
