LAKE PLACID — A public meeting on the village’s Main Street overhaul has been set.

The Lake Placid-North Elba Community Development Commission is hosting a public meeting on the proposed $8 million revitalization project at 6 p.m., March 25 in the Conference Center. A panel of people involved in the planning and engineering process is expected to be on hand to answer questions.

The Main Street overhaul, which has been years in the making, is designed to rebuild aging water infrastructure so it can support increased use as a result of changing fire codes. Village officials also say it’s an opportunity to upgrade the streetscape with new sidewalks, landscaping and crosswalks; and see it as a step forward in the ongoing effort to protect Mirror Lake from salt contamination with the installation of bioretention basins designed to capture and filter some stormwater before it enters the lake.

A public meeting to unveil concept designs was originally scheduled for Jan. 27, but was postponed at the request of members of the Main Street task force, a group of more than 15 people chosen by the mayor to offer input on the village’s designs. In the last few weeks, a task force subcommittee has been meeting in private to fine-tune the public presentation on the project.

The village originally planned to put the project out to bid this month and move into the construction phase in May. Last month, town engineer Ivan Zdrahal said the timeline would be shifted: The project is now set to go out to bid in June and move into construction in mid-September, following Labor Day. Most of the project is slated for completion by November 2022.

The timeline was shifted because local officials continue to explore the feasibility of building a parking deck over the upper municipal lot across from NBT Bank. Mayor Craig Randall has said the village is looking to complete improvements to that upper lot before the Main Street project moves into the construction phase, allowing it to be open during the duration of the construction period on Main Street.

A new parking deck could expand parking capacity there by 114 spaces, according to Bookstore Plus co-owner Marc Galvin, who serves on a subcommittee discussing NBT lot improvements. At a meeting of the Lake Placid Business Association on Tuesday, Galvin said there’s been some discussion of possibly making the upper deck permit-only, with access from Marcy Road rather than Main Street.

Separate from the Main Street project, the village of Lake Placid and town of North Elba are preparing to replace portions of the sidewalk around Mirror Lake Drive. The municipalities recently put out requests seeking bids from contractors. The sidewalk is expected to be replaced sometime this summer.
