Select Board members on June 12 raised safety concerns about an unmarked crossing on Route 28 at the entrance to Kingswood golf course and asked for state Department of Transportation involvement and Department of Justice ADA guidance.

Board members said the location has produced rear‑end crashes and driver confusion because signage and markings do not match actual crossing locations. One member described past DOT conversations that previously prevented a marked crosswalk because the speed there exceeded 40 mph; board members said the speed limit has since been reduced to 35 mph, which changed allowable treatments.

"Let's go all in on it or take it all down. You can't half the crosswalk," one board member said, urging the town to pursue a single clear solution and to involve the state DOT.

Town staff warned the board a mid‑block crossing with a rapid‑flashing beacon could cost about $80,000 and likely would require state funding. A board member asked Town Manager Jim to have the Department of Justice "John Hansen" guidance about ADA requirements available at a future meeting so the public can better understand why some parking spaces were removed adjacent to crosswalks. The board voted to place crosswalks and adjacent parking on the June 18 agenda with public input; the motion passed on an affirmative voice vote.

Members discussed interim actions the town could take immediately, such as trimming trees and correcting signage and pavement markings, while pursuing state funding for any larger hardware installation.

No physical work was authorized at the June 12 meeting beyond routine trimming; the board directed staff to coordinate with DOT representatives, to request ADA guidance from the Department of Justice as a briefing item and to hold public input on June 18.
