16 Great Neck RoadWorth <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />There are issues and opportunities that come out of this. Speeding on Rt. 28 and Rt. 151 was <br />notable. The town could invest in speed trailers or feedback radar signs. A speed trailer is <br />portable but they need to be big enough as to avoid theft. Only 30% of arterials have sidewalks <br />or paths, which is something to consider when looking at connectivity and mobility. We look at <br />safety for all modes. Pedestrian lighting and crosswalk visibility was also listed. They noted <br />high truck volumes. He is aware of possible planned improvements at the Mashpee Rotary. <br />Intersections need to tighten to improve visibility as well as reducing pedestrian crossing <br />distances. <br />Mr. Maxtutis stated truck prohibitions are hard to obtain but they would also need to be <br />provided a parallel route. <br />In efforts to improve pedestrian connectivity, the pedestrian and bicycle plan needs to be <br />updated. If they create a roundabout at Rt. 130 and Great Neck Road North pedestrian access <br />needs to be looked into. Rt. 151 needs corridor improvements. There will need to be more <br />electric vehicle charging stations. With Complete Streets Funding, Mashpee is eligible for <br />$500,000 and that funding can be applied to sidewalks and paving. <br />Ms. Waygan has discussed improving the connectivity many times. They have had success <br />with wayfinding for alternate routes. They have a lot of first time visitors so signs before stop <br />signs, like advance warning signs are helpful. <br />Mr. Maxtutis noted a stop sign with LED lighting is helpful. <br />Ms. Waygan alluded to the several workshops and outreach. She stated the Planning Board is <br />having a special working session on May 10th at the Senior Center at 3:OOpm. She opened the <br />floor up for Public Comment. <br />Lynne Barbee- Whenever she sees anything about a roundabout at Great Neck Road North <br />she wonders how pedestrians would be able to cross to get to the Dunkin Donuts or the <br />convenient store. It has to be allow enough time for people who cannot walk fast or need <br />supports. <br />Mr. Lehrer is further looking into pedestrian friendly goals and what other options exist to <br />ensure pedestrian safety and improve the flow and circulation of traffic. <br />3 <br />
