Sidewalk and Crosswalk Connectivity
At a glance
- What: Steve Chambers raised a missing section of sidewalk on a road under reconstruction (name as heard: "Bankro Street", possibly Bancroft Street; unverified) that would serve about 150 homes, two condominium associations and a church, and crosswalks that lead nowhere on Auburn Street near Perry Street (as heard).
- Where it stands: the Town Manager and Joanna Paquin will report on cost, funding and timing at the next meeting. The extra section is outside the sidewalk priority plan and needs a survey and design.
Main points
- The priority plan is a guide, not a limit; members argued for extending sidewalks while contractors are mobilized.
- Constraints: driveway slopes, rights of way, DPW workload.
