Phases should conform to TIP funding targets
Fall 2008 / Fall & Winter 2009
Look at rare plants, property issues, utilities, wetlands
Alignment along south East side of Hummock Pond Road
Takings will be necessary
Least impacts to residents, since a lot of the land is owned by the
Land Bank, Hummock Pond Association etc.
Will have to look at curb cuts
May have to cross the road.
10’ wide bike path is the minimum standard
The bike paths have multiple uses, not just bike riders
3’ of grass separation between the road and the edge of bike path
through the wetlands
Dirk R. is puling files to see if there are any concerns
Have to be concerned with site distances
Have to look at the cemeteries
May have an 8’ sidewalk instead of a bike path along Milk Street &
Hummock Pond Road between Milk & Joy Streets
Keep the rock & flagpole at the triangle
Some Funds maybe available from Planning Board subdivision
approvals
Bike path access the parking lot at the beach was discussed
The consensus was:
to support the conceptual design
minimize the number of “road crossings” needed
