Fulton Street October 2009

The first phase of the project includes curb-to-curb utility work along the "priority commercial corridor" from Church to Gold Street. That work, carried out by Judlau Contracting, has replaced Fulton Street's 150-year-old water main, installed new catch basins for better drainage, and upgraded utilities like electric, gas, and fiber-optic lines.

Streetscape improvements are bringing new sidewalks, granite curbs, lighting, and street "furniture." City planners also are working with Fulton Street building owners to create more unified storefronts/facades on the corridor.

The second phase of work started in mid-2009, and extends the reconstruction east of Gold. Phase 3, active since June 2010, will also rebuild Nassau and other ancillary streets, as well as install new streetscape components. Improvements to several open spaces, such as DeLury Square and Titantic Park, also are part of the project in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Deparment.
