D
B. Approval of minutes from August 20, 2013: Joe Marcklinger moved to `
minutes and John Stackpole seconded the motion; the committee voted unarumo
accept the minutes. Bert Ryder said that he did pot receive a copy of the
August 20. Secretary Pro Tern Atherton re-sent him the copy originally distril
Secretary Saperstein. °
2. Discussion: 1. In -town bike path route, timing and progress, 2. connectio
between the Madaket, Hummock Pond and Surfside bike paths, and 3. ho
proceed with the Prospect Street, Quaker Road sidewalk to Upper Vestal a
Street.
Mike Bums;. Transportation Planner, updated the committee about the matters li
above.
In -town bike path: Mr. Bums referred to a Power Point presentation he had p
recent Board of Selectmen (BOS) workshop session. [See Attachment I.1 He e
that there will be a public hearing to receive comment from the public on
September 26 regarding the preliminary design. The next step will be to secure
necessary rights of way, as well as complete the environmental permitting. This
big hurdle. Following these procedures, will be the advertising process for design,
construction. The target is the summer of 2014 which is fairly ambitious. The
should go out to bid in May or June of next year. Mr. Bums answered a number
questions from committee members.
Mr. Bums also provided information relative to the Prospect Hill bike and ped
improvements: See Attachment II.
3. Madaket Road mile markers repair and maintenance.
Chairman Reinhard informed the committee that Bill Grieder had repaired and painted
the Madaket Road mile markers after discussing the matter with DPW Head Kara
Buzanoski. Ms. Buzanoski invited Mr. Grieder to do the work himself, if he would like
to, and he did. The committee noted that maintenance is an ongoing challenge.
4. Progress report on First Way safety improvement and Boulevarde, etc. takings.
Chairman Reinhard reported that there has been progress in regard to First Way. Mr.
Reinhard met with DPW Head Ms. Buzanoski about a month ago, along with Mr. John
Smith of the DPW. The ultimate goal is to have a separate bike path. If First Way is ever
paved, speed humps, rather than speed bumps, could be incorporated. The main thing is
to separate kids from the traffic: the road needs to be widened so that there is enough
room for youngsters and vehicles. Some height will be required for a sidewalks, as it
should be elevated compared with roadway.
In regard to the Boulevarde, $20,000 has been appropriated to do necessary survey work.
This is a step in the right direction. Slowly progress is being made.
5. Wagley petition to cobble streets and fix sidewalks and Sidewalk Survey Project.
John Wagley has submitted a petition in regard to cobbling streets and fixing sidewalks
downtown in the Old Historic District. This may have an impact on the committee's
sidewalk survey. Mr. Wagley is advocating for cobbling streets in the historic district, no
parking on sidewalks and for fixing sidewalks. Question: Should the Committee weigh in
on this? Chairman Reinhard called the Committee's attention to a reference to the
condition of the sidewalks, as the Committee would like to do an assessment of the
downtown sidewalks. It was agreed that the only way this is going to get done is if we put
forward a specific recommendation. No specific action was called for, but consensus was
that the Committee needs to keep an eye on what is happening.
6. Old, New and Other Business: Any additional roads for Potential Takings List?
Path and park through railroad ROW next to new Cape Cod 5 bank
Any other roads for Takings List? Ms. O'Donnell suggested that Millbrook Road would
be a good place for a bike path to connect Madaket Road to Cisco. Chairman Reinhard
suggested we keep Millbrook Road on the list, but no prioritize. Mr. Lowell asked how
the Town/County could acquire easements on a private road?
Cape Cod Five. There has been some discussion at the Land Bank about a CPC
application for this area: perhaps a park. If yes, who should maintain it? Mr. Reinhard
thinks the Land Bank should maintain it. The project should be completed within the next
year or so. 'There was some question about whether or not a road is still going through
one -way to the Commons, or would it be just for pedestrians?
7. Adjourn.
Chairman Reinhard declared the meeting adjourned at 5:30 Pm, as the agenda had been
completed.
Next meeting: October 15,2013,4:00 Pm, 2 Fairgrounds Road training room.
Respectfully submitted,
D. Anne Atherton

Attachment 1. Potential Road Takings List; From Draft Minutes September 16,
2008
Update of Priority County Road Acquisition List. The committee then began a
discussion of the criteria used to evaluate the private roads our committee feels should be
made public. The list was last updated in April of 2007. Among the criteria discussed
was the public use of these private roads, whether the road linked two'tublic roads, the
condition of the road with regard to access by emergency vehicles, abutter requests,
access to property open to the public, traffic circulation patterns, and public benefit. It
was pointed out that taking a roadway means the County assumes responsibility for
maintenance and any necessary improvements and these,costs need to be considered as
part of any road taking.
The committee then considered and discussed each road on the April 2007 list. Most
discussion centered on Millbrook Road, and Boulevard and roads leading to the airport as
the two private roads most heavily used by the public. Mrs'. Beck and Mrs. Malcolm,
Surfside residents, commented on the extensive public use of B6ulevarde and other roads
leading to the airport receive, and recommended these roads receive top priority.
After discussion of each of the�roads from the current list, it was voted to delete Squam
Road from the list at this time because the homeowners along the road have taken
responsibility for its maintenance. (See letter attached to August 19 minutes.) Other
roads the committee felt should be considered for taking include: First Way Backus
Lane, Amelia Drive and Ticcoma Way to Fairgrounds Road, Hooper Farm Road from
Surfside Road t67ntersection with Surfside Drive.
October 21, 2008 revised working list would include the following roads
1. Boulevarde, Lovers Lane, Clifford Street, Orkowaw Avenue, Monohansett Road
(from Surfside Road to the Airport)
2. Millbrook Road (from Madaket Road to Hummock Pond Road)
3. Warren's Landing Road
4. Eel Point Road (from end of public road to ?)
5. Eel Point East (dividing point needs to be established)
6. Somerset Road and Friendship Lane (from Bartlett Road to Joy Street)
7. Smooth Hummocks Way (from Somerset to Bartlett Farm Road)
8. First Way/Backus Lane connector
9. Amelia Drive to Ticcoma Way to Fairgrounds Road
10. Hooper Farm Road (dirt portion from Surfside Drive to Surfside Road)
There was a question as to whether the following roads should continue from the current
list:
11. Cato Lane (from Bartlett Road to Vesper Lane)
12. Red Bam Road (from Massasoit Bridge to Sheep Pond Road)
The April 2007 list:
I . Millbrook Road (from Madaket Road to Hummock Pond goad)
2. Macy's Lane (from Hinsdale Road to Old South Road)
