2 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> October 1, 2007 <br /> COMMUNICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE: <br /> Route 130 Safety Audit Draft-Reguest_for Comment: <br /> The Board of Selectmen received a draft of the Mashpee Road Safety <br /> Audit Report for Route 130 from Bonnie Leclerc, Senior Transportation <br /> Planner for the Cape Cod Commission. <br /> Speed was deemed a significant factor in roadway crashes along Route <br /> 130. Given the reported prevalence of speed,the Mashpee Police <br /> Department continues to enforce this area. <br /> Greg Taylor, Director of the Department of Public Works gave an <br /> overview of the comprehensive safety audit document. It was agreed that <br /> the continued promotion of public awareness would most likely benefit <br /> future road safety.. Presently,the DPW is installing 4"x8"reflectors to add <br /> a higher visibility to the utility poles along the Route 130 corridor. <br /> The Board suggested that low-cost speed-related strategies, such as re- <br /> striping narrower lanes with optical speed bars be considered as a possible <br /> countermeasure. It was agreed that additional comments from the <br /> Selectmen would be directed to the Town Manager within the next few <br /> weeks before the finalization of the road safety report. <br /> Certification of Free Cash: <br /> The Town received confirmation regarding the certification of free cash. <br /> As of July 2007,the certified amount is$2,182,771.
