Park Oval Sidewalk Widening Project

under construction

The Township of Nutley initiated a project to widen the sidewalk in front of the Park Oval between Booth Drive and Chestnut Street. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety, accessibility, and street design along Franklin Avenue by widening the sidewalk by approximately four feet to a total width of eight to nine feet. Additional improvements include traffic calming near local schools, installation of three rain gardens, and underground stormwater retention systems to reduce flooding and enhance the streetscape aesthetically.
