PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield's Department of Public Services will be hosting a public meeting on July 18 at 6 p.m. at the Berkshire Athenaeum, 1 Wendell Avenue in the auditorium, to provide an update on the planned improvements to West Street, focusing on the area between Francis Avenue and Backman Avenue.
 

As part of the meeting, the following will be discussed:

  • The addition of a signal to the intersection of West Street and Francis Avenue intersection is proposed to become signalized to make it safer and easier to navigate.
  • Adjusting lanes to a uniform standard width to naturally encourage appropriate driving speeds.
  • Repaving the road surface.
  • Additional safety measures proposed along West Street, to create a more comfortable environment for the neighborhood.
Attendees will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and ask questions about the project.
