MAYVILLE, N.Y. – Chautauqua County Government has announced upcoming sidewalk improvements and parking lot repaving at its Mayville campus, starting September 9, 2024. The project aims to enhance the safety and aesthetics of the campus while addressing necessary infrastructure updates.

The initial phase will commence in front of the Hall R. Clothier (HRC) Building, located at 7 N. Erie St., beginning on the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) side off Peacock and Vista Street. Subsequent work will extend to other areas around the campus, including the employee entrance of the Gerace Office Building (GOB). The entire project is expected to take four to five weeks, depending on weather conditions.

What to Expect:

- Entrance Closures: Crews will block off one entrance at a time to minimize disruptions. The DMV will be restricted to one door for both entry and exit, while employees and visitors may need to use alternative entrances such as the Board of Elections (BOE) door or the first-floor entrance from the GOB parking lot.

- Limited Parking: Available parking spaces will be reduced as work progresses. Visitors and staff are asked to follow all posted signs, barricades, and instructions from construction crews.

- Detours and Adjustments: Cones will direct traffic and pedestrians around construction areas. Caution is advised when navigating the campus.

“While we understand that this work may cause some inconvenience, these improvements are necessary for the long-term safety and accessibility of the campus,” Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel emphasized. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we work to provide a better, safer environment for our residents, employees, and visitors.”

Officials encourage those visiting during this period to plan for slight delays, arrive earlier than usual, and stay alert near construction zones.

“We are committed to minimizing disruptions and ensuring the work is completed efficiently,” Josh Rothwell, Assistant Deputy Director of Public Facilities (Buildings and Grounds), added. “These upgrades will not only improve safety but also enhance the overall experience for everyone visiting or working at the Mayville campus.”

Officials are confident that upon completion, the project will offer a more welcoming and safer space for all.
