of TMs s,s z. Aannin Board c� 16 Great Neck Road NOYth .wlashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 MassDOT has final jurisdiction of those mitigations and change approvals. Ms. Waygan inquired how the Board knows if this gets done. Mr. Bogosian answered they have to contract to do this work. These are items that he must personally ensure get accomplished, per the Cape Cod Commission, and they hire MassDOT contractors to complete, and then he gets occupancy. They have other mitigation money going to the Commission. Mr. Tobin reiterated these mitigations will be cleared before receiving the Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Bogosian confirmed. Mr. Hansen asked about the Rt. 28 intersections with Meetinghouse and Red Brook, and he also noted the Commissions program to improve safety in Vision Zero. Those two intersections were vocalized when the Commission was looking at dangerous intersections. He thinks part of that should be widening the roads for people to go around on the right. Ms. Sullivan noted the further away from the site they get, impacts decrease to the site. They were requested to focus on areas of mitigation closest to site, impacted by this project specifically. A simulation video was shown to demonstrate cars traveling to/from this project under one hour in peak time. This is a good tool to use when looking at signal phasing. Greg Lucas, Traffic Engineer with Tighe and Bond, conducted a 6-page analysis of the study on 12/19/2025. He leads traffic reviews for all the Commonwealth, and he possesses national certifications for road safety. He reviewed both the study provided by Bowman and the site plans for access and circulation, looking at both vehicle and pedestrian access. He had 31 total comments, on both the study and site plans. The study was done consistently with MassDOT and industry standards. This study looked at peak summer, adjustments were made to volumes, and it showed background and growth over 7 years, with and without the built condition. He had some questions related to unbuilt developments. Regarding the bus stop, he is unsure why people would walk from the back of the site, it may make more sense to put the stop on Rt. 28, to allow access to other adjacent sites as well. He has not issued a revised letter, but overall the information has been satisfactorily updated. Ms. Waygan asked about comment 19, the included site distance calculations from the new driveway and exiting vehicles to be seen by approaching cars. She requested consideration of an uphill grade. It was confirmed that was considered and asked for the clearing be shown on the site plans, to clarify where clearing is necessary to achieve site distance in the study. Ms. Waygan continued with comment 20 about the bus stop. She stated concern for pedestrians when crossing three driving aisles to cross. Right now, plans show where it is currently proposed. They are open to looking at other placement options. Further, she would like them to talk to CCRTA, as well as placement on Rt. 28, but sometimes they do not prefer to stop on Rt. 28. 6
