Advisory committee votes to post list of proposed sidewalk locations online
Summary
The Town of Darien Advisory Sidewalk Committee unanimously approved posting its current list of new sidewalk locations on the town website and approved prior meeting minutes; the committee also set next steps on scoring and public outreach.
Mark Cohen, chair of the Town of Darien Advisory Sidewalk Committee, opened the July 9 meeting and the committee unanimously approved the minutes from its June 25 meeting.
The committee then voted unanimously to post the current list of new sidewalk locations under consideration on the Town of Darien website "as soon as possible," a motion moved by Patrick Keane, clerk, and seconded by Julia Sheaffer. The posting is intended to increase transparency and invite public input before the committee makes final prioritization decisions.
The action followed Chair Cohen’s review of the committee’s 30–90 day work plan and the current set of candidate locations and scoring tools. Committee members indicated they will continue to refine the scoring matrix and outreach approach in advance of future meetings.
No formal motions were taken on site inspections or the proposed trial run of seven locations during this meeting. The session concluded when Kate Haavik moved to adjourn and Julia Sheaffer seconded; the adjournment motion passed unanimously.
Next steps: committee members will continue reviewing the scoring matrix and the draft survey questions; the group will reconvene on the schedule established in its critical-path planning.
