Route 103 study outlines safer streets and stronger local economy

Swansea has completed its Route 103 Corridor Study, mapping out big changes for Wilbur Avenue, or Route 103, with plans for safer intersections, walkable streets and a boost for Ocean Grove's small businesses, according to a community announcement.

 

The study, which focused on Wilbur Avenue from the Coles River to Gardners Neck Road, was funded by state Sen. Michael Rodrigues and conducted in partnership with the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD), according to the announcement.

 

Route 103 serves as the spine of Ocean Grove, with dense residential neighborhoods on both sides and more than two dozen small businesses along the corridor. It is also a key connector to Somerset, Fall River and Warren, R.I.
