City officials are seeking proposals on a potentially major street redesign at the center of the Bull's Head redevelopment project.
The focus is on West Main Street — specifically around St. Mary’s Medical Campus, where West Main splits into West Avenue, Chili Avenue and York Street, and Genesee Street ends.
It’s a rather messy concoction today.
But the city is committing nearly $13 million to realign the split and extend Genesee across Main, creating a new intersection with Brown Street. More broadly, the overhaul would seek to make the expanse of asphalt more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.
The city wants to remake the area into more of a gateway into the city — with shops, offices and housing.
Proposals for the street redesign are due in December. The city expects to select a firm next spring, spend the next two years on design and begin construction in early 2026.
