5 <br /> Mashpee Select Board <br /> Minutes <br /> December 19,2022 <br /> Public_Hearin -wPresentation and Review of Offations for Road Safeiy_Imllrovements on Old Barnstable <br /> w _. ._ - <br /> Road between Breezy Acres and the,Mashlee-Falmouth Town Line,:,(continued) <br /> Catherine Laurent,Director of Public Works and Selectman John J. Cotton recommended having a 10' <br /> multi-use path on one side of the road separate from the travel lanes rather than 2/5' bike lanes. The <br /> option for a curb or a separation with a grass strip is dependent upon the location, and could be added <br /> incrementally. <br /> As discussion continued it was agreed that it may be more advantageous to construct an 8-10' multi-use <br /> path be designed on one side of the road with some separation, a curb or grass strip where appropriate, <br /> with preference for a curb for safety keeping pedestrians and cyclists to one side of the road only. The <br /> engineer was requested to further review the area to lessen the amount of utility poles and trees that <br /> would be required to be removed. The road width would remain with 2/11' travel lanes. <br /> A resident of the subject area voiced concern as the road when realigned may cause an increase in <br /> speed. It was suggested the road be designed to make slight alternations to balance the impacts to make <br /> the road safer. It was also recommended a granite curb be installed with the multi-use path on one side <br /> of the road. The road itself is very dangerous, and requires a multi-plan for safety. After one mile, <br /> pedestrians are not going to want to bike or walk as the road is very curvy <br /> Motion made by Selectman O'Hara to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Wyman-Colombo. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 3-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Cotton,yes Selectman O'Hara, yes Selectman Wyman-Colombo, yes <br /> Opposed,none <br /> The engineer was requested to provide a new Option#3 with the recommended revisions to the Select <br /> Board in writing.
