February 3, 2017—Olean—The City of Olean received a 2016 Transportation Project of the Year Award for the North Union Street Complete Street Project at the Western New York American Public Works Association Awards Banquet at Statler City in Buffalo on February 2, 2017.
In accepting the award on behalf of the City, Mayor William J. Aiello said, "The City of Olean is honored to accept this award. The North Union Street project was actually a three year long endeavor if you include the planning. It was a leap of faith for our residents and the early signs indicate that the transformation of the street has made an impact, as both new and established businesses begin to invest in properties along the street." "I would like to thank our DPW Director Tom Windus and his staff for their help during the project and our Community Development Director Mary George and her staff for writing and administering the grants that allowed the City to undertake this massive project," Mayor Aiello added. "In addition, I would like to thank Mott MacDonald and CATCO for their dedication to the North Union Street Project."
The award was established to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects by recognizing the partnership between the managing agency and participating consultants and contractors. The consultant in the project was Mott MacDonald and the contractor was CATCO.
