Our WorkNorth Union Street

Design Brief

North Union Street is Olean’s main street, the center of commercial and civic activity and offers visitors their first impression of the City. The new street plan develops a cohesive design for a linear corridor that is safe, attractive, and comfortable for all users. Key design elements include infrastructure improvement and storm water management, strengthening pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, traffic calming, lighting, parking and enhanced storefront character. The streetscape design includes significant greening that is not only appropriate for the urban environment, but also ideal to mitigate storm water runoff.

The project was completed in collaboration with Mott McDonald.
