Summary
Engineering said a consultant kickoff will restart design evaluations for the Complete Streets program; the commission kept the Merrimack/North Maple/East Dexter intersection on file for a design update at the next meeting and approved adding a standing Complete Streets update to future agendas.
Engineering staff told the commission that a consultant kickoff meeting is scheduled to restart the Complete Streets design-evaluation work and that the program will produce concept designs and cost estimates for prioritized locations.
An engineering representative said the program has a list of 15–20 candidate intersections and that the commission's East Dexter/North Maple (and Merrimack Street) location will be part of the top priorities to be conceptually designed and costed before being put out to bid as funds allow.
Commissioners voted to keep the East Dexter/North Maple design as an agenda item for an update at the next meeting and to add a standing Complete Streets program update to every Traffic Commission agenda so the public can track progress. Staff noted the design-and-construction timeline will depend on funding and could take months to years; engineering will provide an update at the commission's next meeting or in September.
