B-1 Development Railroad Square CMAQ
Division Project $ 308,399 $ 308,399
The purpose of this project is to improve circulation around Railroad Square and at the Main St/Canal St/Franklin St
intersection to accommodate increased traffic converging from Franklin St and Canal St on to the Main St.
intersection. The improvements also include upgrades to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to improve safety.
The total project cost is $1,499,999, with the City 20% match of $308,399.
B-1 Communications
Division Facility Assessment $ 110,000 $ 110,000
The City has three concrete facilities that provide protection to its radio system infrastructure. These facilities are
now 22 years old and they haven't had any maintenance done to ensure that these facilities remain secure and
watertight to protect the multi-million dollar communications system. The facilities need to have seals replaced,
cleaned, waterproofed and painted. This will provide for another 20+ years of security to the city facilities.
Division of
B-1 Public Works Canal St-RR Sq. to Bridge St
(Engineering) Complete St Improvements $ 68,884 $ 68,884
The Canal St/Bridge St corridor is a major arterial in Nashua connecting the twin bridges from Hudson to downtown
Main St. it is heavily used by cars, trucks and pedestrians. This project seeks to improve travel for all types of users
including pedestrians and cyclists by adjusting intersections, re-allocating street widths and improving sidewalks with
handicapped ramps.
Division of
B-1 Public Works Lake St/Lund St/Main Dunstable Rd
(Engineering) Intersection Improvements $ 75,000 $ 75,000
This project would conduct an analysis of the needs of the intersection and provide for intersection modifications.
This location has been the site of frequent crashes resulting from driver confusion as to who has the right-of-way,
especially with younger drivers or visiting traffic. The existing busy four-way intersection currently has a three-way
stop control, with the fourth leg from the west on Main Dunstable having the right-of-way. Two of the legs are
severely skewed and contain sight distance obstructions.
