Project Description Amount Requested Funding Source Committee Recommends (q) Transportation Mitigation $30,000 Transportation Mitigation SF Approval (5 -0) "This request supports the efforts of the Transportation Safety Group. TSG is staffed by the Planning, Engineering, School, and Police Departments. FY17 funds will be used to evaluate and develop construction cost estimates for future capital requests. Between FY 2008 and 2011, Town Meeting appropriated funds to collect data, perform analyses, review citizen requests, and make recommendations for various town -wide transportation improvements in support of the Traffic Mitigation Group. When TMG was dissolved in 2012, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee became the group charged with overseeing these funds. In October of 2014, the Town further reorganized its operations, reconstituting TSAC as the Transportation Safety Group. This request is also part of the response to the 2015 Annual Town Meeting's adoption of Article 45, which prioritized town -wide pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements.

Front line apparatus are generally utilized as first line vehicles for 10 -12 years and then in a reserved capacity but the ladder truck has been used in a primary position for its entire life span. FY17 funding would be used to purchase a vehicle similar in size and equipped comparably to the existing truck. The primary design of the ladder truck allows the vehicle to conduct rescues, perform roof ventilation and provide firefighting capabilities through the water way at the end of the ladder."
