Town schedules April 1 public meeting to review town‑center reconstruction options
Summary
Engineers presented multiple design alternatives for the town‑center reconstruction; the board scheduled a public hearing for April 1 to present options and collect feedback before selecting a preferred plan for Town Meeting.
Staff and members of the traffic committee said they will present three (plus a 'do nothing') design options for the downtown reconstruction and collect community feedback at a public hearing on April 1 at Norton Town Hall.
The meeting will be advertised in the newspaper and online; the boards said they want a representative cross‑section of the community to attend and provide input. Engineers will explain each option and the traffic committee will summarize tradeoffs; the Select Board noted that after public input it will select a preferred alternative to present at Town Meeting.
Officials said the traffic committee and consultants will aim to answer questions at the April 1 meeting and that the project will move forward only after further public discussion and appropriation votes at Town Meeting.
The Select Board encouraged attendance and public comment at the April 1 hearing and noted that one popular online response to preliminary designs favored leaving the center as is.
