diagram) forces a very sharp turn onto the sidewalk without the ramps. A long wheel-based bike, cargo bikes, longer bikes such as recumbents would have a very hard time going on the pedestrian ramp. We should keep the bike ramps. Regarding the extra plantings that will be added soon he commented that they should not compromise site line visibility. The addition of the plantings is not that many square feet. Jonathan Bernays: The roundabout ramps as designed and the crosswalk approach is funneling pedestrians who are very close to traffic. It is not practical as a cyclist to make the sharp turn onto the crosswalk ramp. He stated that he is concerned about the funneling the traffic around the roundabout and then having cyclists have to funnel into the crosswalk. The bike ramps are the most practical. Dawn McKenna introduced herself as a resident at 9 Hancock Street right on the roundabout and the abutter who has made the proposals to change the roundabout design by eliminating the 4 bike ramps and the Hancock Street crosswalk. Dawn stated that no one else knows the traffic pattern on the roundabout better than her since she lives right there. She has a lease with the town for the land her house is on and it’s on the Battle Green site. The roundabout has impacted her and her family very negatively. Dawn contacted the Select Board and walked through the roundabout with each Select Board member to explain her concerns. Dawn also noted that these proposed design changes also came from suggestions by some of the Select Board members. There are a lot of things happening in a small amount of space here. There are crosswalks and ramps at each area. So, there’s double access places at each intersection. She has a big concern that the raised panels on the bike ramps will confuse a visually impaired person who might accidentally think it is a crosswalk ramp. She also stated that there is not that much pedestrian traffic in this area. Dawn also stated that regulations say that bikes cannot be ridden on the Battle Green. Jim Cadenhead: He is addressing this issue and proposal in terms of safety. The main people we are trying to focus on for the ramps are those who are not comfortable traveling through the roundabout. These are little kids, seniors, and others who are not comfortable riding in the road. That’s who we are talking about with safety. When we talk about safety, we are talking about our most vulnerable road uses who could potentially get squashed by large metal cars and we are telling them it’s an eye sore or potentially someone is uncomfortable with this design option.
