West Webster Hamlet Revitalization Plan

The Town of Webster, in cooperation with the Webster Economic Development Alliance, pursued a revitalization plan to strengthen the identity of the West Webster Hamlet as a neighborhood center. This plan addressed two geographic areas including both the West Webster Hamlet and the adjacent Route 404 Corridor.

The primary objective of this plan was to identify strategies and recommendations to improve pedestrian safety and bolster economic opportunities in the Hamlet. Under the guidance of the project steering committee and the citizen advisory committee (CAC), the project team developed recommendations to:

• Expand pedestrian and bicycle facilities, particularly along Old Ridge Road;

• Improve pedestrian and vehicular safety along the Route 404 Corridor;

• Enhance intersection of Ridge Road and Bay Road including detailed recommended improvements for land use, development and design, and transportation; and

• Identify improvements to enhance pedestrian and bicycle access to adjacent neighborhoods, shopping destinations and adjacent recreational resources.
