Select Board approves two-way conversion of School Street to serve Baldwinville school housing project
Summary
At its June 11 meeting the Select Board approved converting School Street to two-way traffic to support access for the Baldwinville school housing project; a groundbreaking for the project also took place, the broadcast reported.
The Town of Templeton's Select Board approved converting School Street from one-way to two-way traffic to accommodate access for the Baldwinville school housing project, the June 16 TCTV broadcast said.
A speaker describing the project said the change follows a traffic study performed for the development and is intended to allow access to the development from either School Street or Baldwinville, easing circulation for the project. “So, essentially, the project that I'm working on is based on those assumptions and the town, being willing to accommodate the 2 way,” the speaker said on the broadcast.
The program also reported that a groundbreaking for the Baldwinville project took place the previous week. The broadcast did not provide the text of the Select Board motion, vote tally or whether any conditions accompanied the approval.
The conversion and the development were presented as actions to facilitate traffic flow for the new housing project; the broadcast did not report ordinance numbers, formal traffic studies on file, or a recorded vote total from the Select Board meeting.
