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 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 renovation. Provide cost changes (if any) that will/could result from this request i.e. increase or decrease maintenance costs, utilities, personnel etc. This project will require additional maintenance to maintain accessibility, including snow clearance and surface repairs as needed. Town of Nantucket Proposed FY2016 Capital Project 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). Town of Nantucket Town of Nantucket Hummock Pond of Nantucket Homeowner’s Association August 14, 2014 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, Neil J. Graner Neil J. Graner President CISCO CIVIC ASSOCIATION, INC. NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS July 30, 2014 Board of Selectmen Nantucket, MA 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 President Hummock Pond Association Hummock Pond Nantucket August 11, 2014 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.

Town of Nantucket Project Title: Milestone Rotary – Crosswalk Improvements Department: Planning / DPW Contact Person: Mike Burns / Silvio Genao Department Priority: Low Medium High Funding Amount Requested: $ 25,000 Funding Source(s): General Fund State Grant Enterprise Fund Other (please explain): 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.
