AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br />LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING <br />DATE:STAFF:ITEM NUMBER: <br />January 27, 2014 William P. Hadley, Director I.1c <br />SUBJECT: <br />Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Recommendation – <br />New Crosswalk Prospect Hill Road near Wachusett Drive <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: <br />New Crosswalk - Concerns of the Bridge School Community and the residents of Prospect Hill <br />Road area over pedestrian safety. A significant number of school children walk down Wachusett <br />Drive and cross Prospect Hill Road to access the sidewalk on the westerly side of Prospect Hill <br />Road. Currently there is no crosswalk near this area. Engineering inspected the area and feel <br />that installation of a crosswalk at this location will let the pedestrians know where the best <br />crossing location is and provide more than adequate sight distance to motor vehicles. <br />Site inspection by Police and Engineering staff support installation of a new crosswalk at this <br />location. Traffic safety staff members comprised of the Police, Engineering, School <br />Administration and Transportation Services reviewed and support establishing and maintaining <br />this regulatory sign. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />Cost of materials and installation of the ADA Compliant pedestrian ramps, warning signing and <br />pavement marking is estimated at $2500 <br />RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MO <br />TION: <br />Motion to approve the installation of a new crosswalk on Prospect Hill Road as shown <br />STAFF FOLLOW-UP: <br />If approved, the DPW Highway Dept will install and maintain this Crosswalk as shown. <br />G:\\AGENDAS\\012714 TSAC-Crosswalk on Prospect Hill (1).doc <br /> <br />
