Downtown Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets & Intersection Improvements

The City of Northampton is transforming nearly one mile of its downtown Main Street corridor into a safer, more accessible, and more resilient complete streets corridor that better serves pedestrians, cyclists, businesses, and the community. The project includes reconstructed sidewalks and crosswalks, separated bicycle facilities, intersection improvements, parking modifications, and replacement of aging underground utilities.

BSC provided surveying, stormwater management, and right-of-way services to help advance the project from design through implementation. Our team designed a new drainage system sized for future storm events and incorporated eight bioretention areas to improve water quality and long-term resilience. BSC also completed the existing conditions survey and prepared the right-of-way plans required to support design, permitting, and construction of this transformative downtown corridor.
