Hi all,I spent 12 years as a Select trying to grapple with this.Obviously, we made very little progress.Speed bumps require certain sight lines and topography and geometry to be safe and effective.Our winding, narrow country roads limit our choices.As to the suggestion to add more roadside paths-

I am not sure who I should be thanking, but someone did an excellent job cleaning up after the storm.  We had a huge tree fall and break through the power lines on Bedford Rd.  It blocked off the street.  They worked non-stop till 2am that evening moving the tree off to the side and replacing

And regarding speed on our roadways, appropriate speed bumps can be build that don’t require coming to a near stop (or a full stop for low riding cars - of which I speak from experience). More frequent rises in any road can help keep speed below a determined level with these more appropriately

I am no infrastructure planning expert so bear with me asking this question. I know it doesn't solve the problem of curbing excessive speed, but might it not be worth understanding if the town could factor one of two things into the project: 1. sidewalk/ridewalk, at least on one side, much like

When Farrar Road was repaved about a decade ago, it made it much harder for walkers an bikers. They added asphalt curbs to the sides to control the storm runoff, which makes sense from a DPW point of view, and possibly even an environmental point of view. But since the curbs were about 18

Hi Ursula, I walk often on Conant Rd (as well as on Tower Rd.) I notice that many (not all!)“delivery” style trucks (Amazon, Fed Ex, repair, furniture, grocery, etc.) move quickly—even alarmingly so, often with little regard for pedestrians, those walking dogs, those on bicycles or with strollers,

Hi Ursula, I walk Conant regularly-in my experience, it depends on the time of day as to the volume and speed of traffic The straight-way, south of the Silver Hill intersection, is now more dangerous (since repaving), but the curves mitigate the great speed that is picked up on the straight. It

I was concerned that the same would happen when Conant Rd. was repaved a couple of years ago. I don't think it did though. Perhaps it is better to walk here now because drivers don't have to avoid potholes. It just feels calmer than before. Do others who walk on Conant Rd share my observations?
