SUNY Cortland’s Campus Intersection Improvement Project is “rolling right along,” according to an update.
The project is currently under construction at Broadway Avenue, Neubig Road and Pashley Drive in the city of Cortland. The goal of the project is to improve walking and vehicle safety in the specific area. It is currently implementing a full closure to vehicular traffic, while adversely impacting pedestrian traffic.
An update from SUNY Cortland noted that the project “remains on schedule.” Phase two of the $1.7 million project is set to conclude in mid-July, which will allow vehicle traffic to reopen for Broadway Avenue. The project as a whole is tentatively set to wrap up for the fall semester.
Improvements to the intersection include:
- A raised intersection with new traffic and pedestrian signaling.
- Added turning lanes on Neubig Road and Pashley Drive.
- A second bus stop and extended sidewalk across from Whitaker Hall.
- New signage to mark the entrance to campus.
Noted in SUNY Cortland’s update, “Thanks to our facilities planning, design and construction office for overseeing this project, the construction crews for their hard work and our community members for their patience. It will be an improved entryway to campus when it’s finished.”
