Goodnow trustees review DPW grant application for flashing crosswalk on Concord Road; decision due in early March
Summary
The Goodnow Library Board of Trustees reviewed a Department of Public Works grant proposal to install a flashing-light crosswalk on Concord Road that would sit southwest of the existing crossing to Church Street and abut private property. The DPW expects a decision on the grant in early March.
The Goodnow Library Board of Trustees on Feb. 3, 2026 reviewed a Department of Public Works (DPW) proposal seeking grant funding to install a new flashing-light crosswalk on Concord Road.
Trustee Megan described the project, saying the proposed crossing would be constructed southwest of the existing crosswalk that connects to Church Street and that it would abut private property. Trustees did not vote on the grant application; the transcript records that DPW has submitted the proposal and that a decision on the grant award is expected in early March.
The discussion was procedural and informational: trustees were referred to the DPW design included in the meeting documents for details. No public comment or a formal motion on the crosswalk grant appears in the minutes, and the board did not adopt a formal position during the meeting.
If awarded, the grant would fund the installation of the flashing-light crossing at the described location; the minutes do not specify funding sources beyond DPW’s proposal, an exact construction timeline, or required easements for the adjacent private property. A DPW decision is expected in early March.
