Summary
Consultant MSK presented three design options for narrowing Route 7 near the Mad Tom intersection; the Board favored Option 1, which includes a shared path on the east side of Route 30 looping to Village Street and a sidewalk on the west side of Route 7, pending pricing and Agency of Transportation review.
The Select Board discussed traffic-calming designs for East Dorset and agreed to pursue the consultant’s preferred option.
Minutes state that MSK provided three design options to narrow Route 7 near the Mad Tom intersection and to consider pedestrian improvements such as a path or sidewalk. The Board ultimately agreed with Option 1, described in the minutes as including a shared path on the east side of Route 30 that would loop to Village Street and a sidewalk on the west side of Route 7. The Board asked staff to obtain pricing and to coordinate review and input from the Agency of Transportation (AOT).
Next steps: staff will request cost estimates and submit design concepts to AOT for review; the minutes note the AOT review may take some time.
