  • 64 Ballston Avenue Saratoga Springs, NY - Saratoga Springs
    The City's current Ballston Avenue project (limits = Lincoln Ave to Hamilton Street) calls for dead-ending Union Street on the south side of Ballstion Ave. Emphasis has been on the two other, more major intersections - including the announcement for the public meeting last fall which did not mention proposed changes here. There is no option to keep Union Street open in both directions. There has been no trafffic diversion analysis completed to determine where traffic currently using Union Street would go. This change would increase traffic volumes at other nearby intersections where existing accident problems are much worse. While I hope it's not the case it certainly appears someone is trying to 'slip in' this change when no one is looking. I'm afraid most people would have no idea this was being planned until one day they find they can no longer travel up/down Union Street.
