BOSWELL William Paterson University — West Road Sidewalk Improvements Township of Wayne, New Jersey (Passaic County) cLI William Paterson University 300 Pompton Road | Wayne, New Jersey 07470 CONTACT William Siegrist, Associate Director Capital Planning, Design & Construction 973-720-2352 capitalplanning@wpunj.edu COMPLETION DATE 2016 DISCIPL Design Traffic NES INCLUDED William Paterson University engaged Boswell to provide design and traffic services for the West Road Sidewalk Improvements. West Road serves as one of the main entrances (Entry 4) to the campus of William Paterson University.. The roadway experiences high vehicular traffic volumes as a result of the nearby commuter student parking lots, the Cheng Library, and several academic buildings. Pedestrian volumes are also significant, as many local restaurants and convenience stores are located within walking distance at the intersection of Hamburg Turnpike and Pompton Road. This project included the removal of the existing parallel parking along west road and construction of a new sidewalk from the Entry 4 entrance at Pompton Road to the plaza in front of Speert Hall. In addition, a mid-block crossing was constructed with flashing pedestrian crossing signs. All curb ramps and sidewalks were constructed in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Standards and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). Existing faded traffic stripes and symbols were replaced in order to meet the minimum retroreflective requirements specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
