Funding Amount Requested: $ 525,800

Project Description including location and source of cost estimate:
This 8 foot wide 2,485 linear foot sidewalk is one of the components to the Prospect Hill
Improvements that would provide safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian access between
Madaket, the Cisco area, and Town. This 8 foot wide sidewalk would be aligned along the east side
of Milk Street Extension from the intersection of Mt Vernon Street to the intersection of Hummock
Pond Road, and is currently proposed to be separated from the roadway by granite curbing. The
sidewalk would provide an adequate area for bicyclists and pedestrians traveling to/from
destinations along Hummock Pond Road.
The estimate for this project was initially developed as part of a 2009 preliminary design and has
been verified by comparing the estimate with the cost of similar projects. Below is a breakdown of
the requested funding:
Construction: $418,000
Engineering and Inspections: $40,000
Right of Way Acquisitions: $20,000
Subtotal: $478,000
Contingencies (10%): $47,800
Total: $525,800

Provide an estimate of revenues (if applicable) gained by this expenditure. Example: Artificial
turf field would enable field rental and lower the ground maintenance costs. Include the
estimated number of years to pay back this expenditure.
This project would not generate any direct revenue for the Town.
If relevant, provide any other justification for the project or equipment.
This sidewalk was originally a component of the Hummock Pond Road Bike Path and was separated
from that project once it was determined that a bike path along Milk Street Extension was not
feasible. This sidewalk is also requested by the neighborhood associations in the Cisco area (see
attached letters of support).

Dear Board of Selectman:
Our homeowners association would like to express full support for the town finishing the
Hummock Pond Road bike path with the extension along Milk Street.
We think this is still the same safety issue as the original path and an accident waiting to
happen. We have 36 homeowners along the path and have witnessed the tremendous growth
in bike, hike, and stroller traffic. We also see the bikers from town struggling along the 4,000
feet that are left.
Please finish the job we all started and build the sidewalk along the stretch of road that is left!
Thanks,

Dear Selectmen/women:
I am writing on behalf of the Cisco Civic Association, which is a neighborhood of 63
homes south of Heller Way and east of Hummock Pond Road, to support the extension of
the Hummock Pond Road bike path by means of a sidewalk along the Milk Street
Extension.
Our neighborhood is delighted with the new path, and would very much like to see this
last stretch made safer for the many cyclists, runners and walkers that use the path every
day. Here are some of the comments from my neighbors about this idea:
“This is a great idea.”
“I support it!”
“[My wife] and I are very supportive.”
“It has our vote.”
“Sounds like an excellent initiative.”
“Why would anyone in her right mind not want that extension? [It] should have been
done in the first place.”
The expenditure for this improvement is small in contrast to the benefit and increased
safety and I urge you to approve it.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Carol B. Langer

Dear Board of Selectmen:
I am writing on behalf of the Hummock Pond Association to support building the
extension to the Hummock Pond Bike Path.
The path has become very popular and traffic increases each year. The 4000 feet left
to build to connect to Milk Street now has more traffic than ever and has become increasingly dangerous.
We propose the Town finish the job of building the bike path and finance the
extension necessary to insure the safety of riders using the existing path.
Thank you. Sincerely,
Robert Williams

Project Description including location and source of cost estimate:
As part of the Prospect Hill Improvements (items #5 and#6 on the attached map), this will provide a 5
foot brick sidewalk for pedestrians along the south side of Prospect Street and Quaker Rd between the
end of the existing path along at 29 Prospect Street and Vestal Street. The sidewalk work will consist
of infilling gaps in the existing sidewalk with brick (approximately 1,325 square yards) and adding
curbing (approximately 615 linear feet) where there are also gaps.
The cost of the sidewalk and curbing was developed by staff based on unit costs of recently completed
projects.
5’ Brick walk: $362,000
Survey/Design: $15,000
Total: $377,000

Project Description including location and source of cost estimate:
This project is for a work related to constructing a crosswalk at the Milestone Road approach to the
Milestone Rotary. Currently, the only designated crossing for bike and pedestrian traffic from the
Milestone and Old South Road bike paths is across Old South Road and across Orange Street. To
improve access for bicyclists from these paths to Orange Street, a crosswalk is proposed and would
consist of markings with associated signage, work within the slitter island at the Milestone Road
approach to provide a crossing refuge, and work next to the north side of Milestone Road to provide a
landing area for crosswalk users. The primary users of this crossing are intended to be bicyclists
traveling northeast towards town along Orange Street.
The cost was estimated by staff based on unit cost of recently completed projects.
Is the request for a new structure or equipment?
Yes.
If the request is for replacement or renovation please explain the need.
N/A – this request is not for replacement or renovations.
Provide cost changes (if any) that will/could result from this request i.e. increase or decrease
maintenance costs, utilities, personnel etc.
The crossing includes additional road markings that would need to be maintained.
Provide an estimate of revenues (if applicable) gained by this expenditure. Example: Artificial turf
field would enable field rental and lower the ground maintenance costs. Include the estimated
number of years to pay back this expenditure.
This project would not generate any direct revenue for the Town.
If relevant, provide any other justification for the project or equipment.
The crosswalk would reduce conflicts at the Old South Road and Orange Street crosswalks, and is
supported by the NP&EDC’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
