Committee reviews Scoring Matrix Version 3.0 and discusses townwide survey to guide sidewalk priorities
Summary
The committee discussed Version 3.0 of the sidewalk scoring matrix and the structure of a townwide survey to gather resident input; BSC Consulting described how the project cost matrix might evolve. No formal votes were taken on inspections or pilot runs.
At the July 9 meeting of the Town of Darien Advisory Sidewalk Committee, members examined "Scoring Matrix – Version 3.0," discussed potential revisions, and walked through how committee members would complete individual scoring.
The committee did not finalize changes at this meeting; members agreed to continue reviewing the draft matrix and provide feedback at the next meeting. Chair Mark Cohen emphasized procedural steps in the next 30–90 days to refine priorities.
Committee members also discussed elevating public awareness through a townwide survey. The group reviewed the construct of the survey and draft questions and agreed to provide feedback to Chair Cohen and consultants Rob Newton and Erika Nunez of BSC Consulting. Newton described how the project cost matrix could evolve as the committee narrows candidate sites.
Two agenda items—inspection of locations and a proposed trial run of seven locations—were discussed but produced no action. The committee noted next-meeting topics and the critical path for carrying work forward.
The committee plans to reconvene with revised scoring inputs and survey feedback to move toward prioritizing sites for design and potential funding.
