Specific information and the general guidelines for remote <br />participation by members of the public and/or parties with a right and/or requirement to <br />attend this meeting can be found below. No in‐person attendance of members of the public will <br />be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the public can adequately access the <br />proceedings in real time, via technological means. (*As per Executive Order regarding remote <br />participation: https://www.mass.gov/doc/open‐meetinglaw‐order‐march‐12‐2020/download) <br />Please be advised that the House and Senate passed a bill that Governor Baker signed, which <br />will allow the continuation of remote public meetings until July 15, 2022. <br />This meeting met remotely from 6 PM to 7:20 PM. <br /> <br />Battle Green Streetscape Project presentation by John Livsey, Town Engineer and Kien HO of <br />BETA Group <br /> Restarted this past spring, this project is charged with enhancing pedestrian bicycle, <br />vehicle safety, increased connectivity, and landscaping. The location is the larger <br />triangle around the Battle Green, the cemetery, and the Belfry. <br /> The design includes a roundabout at the intersection of Harrington and Bedford Streets <br />and a more controlled intersection between Harrington and Mass Ave. <br /> They would like to see this project go out for bid in November to meet the timeline for <br />the project for late summer and early fall of 2023. <br /> The Commission voted unanimously in support of the use of stabilized stone dust <br />around the Battle Green as discussed in the presentation. <br /> Other details discussed included sharing our views on using cast iron tactile pads versus <br />the Federal Yellow Tactile Pad on the Battle Green Master Plan like the Streetscape <br />project. We reasserted our request to consistently use the Federal Yellow tactile pads at <br />curb cuts that we believe to be more accessible and user‐friendly. <br /> We also discussed the need for additional lighting at crosswalks. <br />
