Review of Master Plan Chapters:
Transportation Chapter
Mr. Russo reviewed the transportation chapter highlighting areas important to the committee including being aware of alternate forms of transportation and possibly working with the State to widen Rte 152 for safer bicycle travel. They also reviewed items like the accident data and status of the bridges. The Board also reviewed in detail the vision goal for Transportation objects and action items; like possibly adding a new action item for a Road Improvement Plan.
The Board made minor changes to some items and asked the committee to consider adding a Stormwater Management Plan or including those stormwater related RSAs in the wording of Action T3:1.
Natural Resources
The Board reviewed the latest changes to this chapter. Mr. Davies questioned the Water Body Name chart; asking why a few ponds that he knows about are not listed. Mr. Russo will check on the threshold for the chart and have the missing ponds added if needed.
The Board also reviewed and discussed the charts and maps in the appendix; including possibly adding an action item with NR 6.5 to create a brochure for town owned trails. It was also suggested that type of brochure could possibly come under the Recreation section as well.
Mr. Russo will take the suggestions to the Committee for their next meeting and get back to the Board. He added that the Committee has been working steadily and is close to finishing all the chapters. The Board thanked Mr. Russo and the Committee for their work.
