Background:
The Pedestrian Gap Closure Improvements project was part of a comprehensive effort by the City of Lancaster to promote active transportation. The project improved local and inter-jurisdictional pedestrian trips by closing the gap between existing improvements to move non-motorized users away from the vehicular lanes of travel. This project has encouraged walking and bicycling among all users by increasing safety and mobility with connecting to transit access points and local destinations.

This project closed the gap in the non-motorized user transportation network with the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and related improvements. Proposed improvements vary depending on location and include other improvements, such as earthwork and grading, road excavation with street widening, construction/reconstruction of curb ramp, driveway, cross gutter, slough curb, parkway drain, asphalt concrete pathway, asphalt concrete dike, asphalt concrete landing, utility adjustment, minor drainage improvement/adjustment, vehicle detection upgrade, relocation of push buttons, minor signing, striping and marking and street lighting system. Where the improvements take place at unimproved intersections near schools, new pedestrian crosswalks and bulb-outs will be installed to shorten crossing distances and allow for safer street crossings.
Construction of the project has been completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works.
The project was substantially completed on April 24, 2023, which was within the time permitted by the contract. The construction quantities and the amount of payment have been approved by the Contractor and the Director of Public Works.
The total contract cost is $8,444,468.08.
