We will need to rebuild the sidewalks after we replace the underground utilities. This will include locating sidewalk cafes next to the buildings, rather than keeping them near the street or the curb. This change will make walking safer and help foot traffic flow more smoothly. Where we can, we will also make the sidewalks wider. This extra space will better support our downtown businesses, visitors, and community events. Learn more about the project and follow construction updates at KeeneNH.gov/downtown.

We invite you to continue visiting Keene’s downtown shops, restaurants, and services during the Downtown Project. Parking spaces in the construction area will remain available except for periods of time when sections of spaces will be undergoing construction as the underground utilities are replaced. If a handicap space is temporarily closed, another will be assigned nearby. If you can’t find a parking space on the street, consider using the parking lots on Gilbo Ave (Gilbo East Lot and Commercial Lot) which are very close, have longer time limits, and cost less per hour.
Phase 1 of the Downtown Project, the Central Square area, begins in July.
