Below are highlights of several specific activities during the past year. Road Projects The following roads were resurfaced with drainage repairs: Swain Circle and Hanson Drive in the Asher's Heights neighborhood; Old Colony Way; Ashumet Avenue, Highview Avenue, Hilltop Avenue, and Highland Avenue in the Briarwood neighborhood. Sturgis Lane was reconstructed with drainage repairs. All projects were funded through the DPW Operational Budget (FY16 and FY17). Construction associated with conversion of the following private roads to public roads was completed: Sunset Strip, Wilann Road, Claulise Lane, Noisy Hole Road (partial), and Anthony's Way. Conversion of the roads in the Spring Hill neighborhood was approved at the October 2016 Town Meeting as was the conversion of Leeward Lane. Design work continued for reconstruction and improvement of Route 151. The project will ultimately include upgrading of the traffic signals, extension of the multi -use path along the entire corridor in Mashpee, construction of a sidewalk from Old Barnstable Road to Winslow Drive, improvement of signage and lighting, and improvement/lane reconfigurations at various intersections as well as reconstruction of the road itself. Construction funding for the project will be through the Cape Cod Transportation Improvement Program and is tentatively scheduled for FFY20/21. Design is being funded through Chapter 90.
