TRAFFIC ADVISORY AND STREET CLOSURE:


COURT STREET

As part of the construction work for the City’s ongoing Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI)
Streetscape Project, a segment of Court Street between Public Square and the southeastern entrance to
Marshall Place will be closed to thru traffic intermittently on Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

The City anticipates being able to reopen this street segment by Tuesday evening although there is a
possibility that work could extend into Wednesday. While closure will not be necessary for this entire
time range, it will be necessary in stages. The City’s contractor will make every effort to keep Court
Street open as often as possible, but periodic closures will be unavoidable.

Local traffic on Court Street should seek alternate routes, such as Black River Parkway or Arsenal Street,
as a bypass around the construction zone. The City encourages nonlocal traffic to use these routes as
well if possible.

During Tuesday’s closure, Court Street will remain open between Marshall Place and Massey Street,
and the public parking lot behind 210 Court Street, which provides immediate access to the building,
will remain open and available for use throughout the street closure. This parking lot is also within a
short walk of all Court Street businesses. However, the only means of entering this lot from the
south will be via Coffeen Street, as depicted on the map below. The southeastern entrance to
Marshall Place from Court Street will remain closed for an extended time.

The City’s contractor will follow standard protocol to establish traffic control by installing temporary
barricades, signage, and having on-site flagmen throughout the duration of the project.

Once complete, this project will improve pedestrian safety and comfort along Court Street and other
project areas within downtown Watertown. The City of Watertown thanks you for your patience and
understanding during the construction process.

The City will make every effort to keep affected project areas open during construction. However, as
the project progresses, short segments of roadway and sidewalk will continue to be subject to temporary
closure as project needs may warrant.
