Great Neck Road Preffininm Design Submittal: Catherine Laurent, Director of Public works was Mn attendance with Matthew Eddy of Baxter Nye Engineering and Surveying to discuss improvements and realignments associated to Great Neck Road North. Work is intended to be funded through the Chapter 90 road funding process. Tom Mayo,the GIS Administrator was also present. A sidewalk and/or bi epath are under prefiminary design review. The cost of a ' sidewalk running the length of Great Meek Road North is $230,000. An 8' bikepath is projected to cost$390,000. Discussion followed with respect to time constraints,added peffmtting,possible tree removal and target areas for easements. It was noted that additional costs such as easement costs and retaiinm* g wall construction is not included in the Chapter 90 funding allocation. As an alternative, it was suggested the entire length of the road be widened to accomodate a shoulder lane on each side of the goad for use as a bike lane. Although there is an additional cost to widen lane,the configuration would be within the road layout and would not require the t9dng of additional easements.
