During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the design plans for three critical intersections in the area, particularly focusing on bicycle safety. Officials highlighted major issues with how bicycles were integrated into the proposed designs, indicating that the current plans could pose risks to cyclists.
The discussion centered on three key junctions: the south end of the Craddock Bridal before the underpass, the intersection of Main Street and South Street after the overpass, and the divergence of Mystic Avenue and Main Street. These locations are notably close to the police station, underscoring their importance for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
In an effort to address these concerns, officials expressed a desire to meet in person to discuss the detailed problems identified in the designs. They acknowledged that a comprehensive list of issues would be extensive and potentially overwhelming, opting instead to focus on the most pressing matters during their upcoming meeting.
An invitation for this meeting was received shortly after the discussion, indicating a proactive approach to resolving the highlighted safety concerns. The officials also offered to share presentation materials from the original meeting to provide further context on the proposed designs.
