TRAFFIC DENSITY AND STREETS/SIDEWALKS
6. The development is a low traffic generator; i.e., residents, workers, and recreational users from the development can be comfortably accommodated on Winthrop Street.
7. The street and sidewalk network within the residential development connects naturally to Pleasant, Page, and Winthrop Streets. This allows students to walk to school, and neighbors to visit neighbors. It also encourages safe passage along and across Winthrop Street. It does so in a way, however, that discourages commuters and through traffic from cutting through the residential streets of the adjoining neighborhoods.

There is no way to create a low traffic scenario if a housing development is planned for the land behind the Reed Center. There would probably be an exit on Pleasant Street. Vehicle associated with 60 to 70 families would totally overwhelm Page and Pleasant Street -- impacting safety and quality of life. Development on the main campus and upper fields would create better options for traffic control and safety.
ReplyDeletePleasant Street and Page Street used to have sidewalks. I have lived on Pleasant Street for 30 years and have never seen sidewalks. With repaving on Pleasant Street, the street is higher than the properties. There are vision issues due to a rise in the street around Getchell Lane.
