Board flags sidewalk gap between Chaelin Court and Jefferson; public works involvement needed
Summary
A member told the zoning board there is no sidewalk between Chaelin Court and Jefferson, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street; members said the grade and bulkhead at the lake make a lakeside sidewalk costly and asked for DPW/DEP coordination.
During new business, a board member reported a pedestrian‑safety concern: there is no sidewalk between Chaelin Court and Jefferson, forcing walkers into traffic. "There's no sidewalk between Chaelin Court and all the way down to Jefferson," the member said, urging the board to note the problem and plan for a future project.
Members observed that routing a sidewalk along the lake would require significant engineering — a bulkhead and substantial expense — and that public works and possibly DEP review would be necessary. The board asked staff to monitor the issue and coordinate with appropriate departments when funding and engineering options are available.
