Mayor Noble Announces Last Round of 2024 Paving

KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble and the Department of Public Works are pleased to announce the next and final round of 2024 paving will be Saint James Street from Broadway to Green Street and Smith Avenue from Garden Street to Albany Avenue. 

Preparation in these areas has already begun. Milling is scheduled to begin Tuesday, October 15 with paving being completed by Friday, October 25, weather depending. During milling and paving operations, all vehicles must remain off the street.

“I want to thank our Department of Public Works for all their hard work paving this year,” said Mayor Noble. “In addition to the preparation, which includes regrading manhole covers and cleaning and resetting storm drains, much thought and planning goes into paving--coordinating with utility companies, ensuring the sewer and water lines below are in good condition, factoring the age of the road, traffic volume and usage, and more. While we cannot get to every road, we are pleased that 20 roadways will have been repaired this year. In addition to our announced paving, Henry Street was completed as part of the streetscape project, and Clinton Avenue will be paved after the completion of the intersection improvements project. I also want to thank the public for their patience during construction efforts, as we work to make vital infrastructure improvements across our community.”

Ed Norman, Superintendent of Public Works said, “I would like to thank the staff at DPW for a job well done during this paving season. We still have a couple streets to go this fall, so I want to remind the public to be aware of the staff working in the streets. Please refrain from going around barricades at our work zones unless directed to do so by the flaggers. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.”

As part of the citywide ramp project, ADA-compliant curb ramps are being installed along Smith Avenue and St James Street following the new paving. The 2024 ADA ramp project includes 58 new curb ramps along Cornell Street, Smith Avenue, Maiden Lane, and St James Street, and is anticipated to be completed in November of 2024.
