Many were carried over from last year and were either ongoing or have not yet been undertaken. The Board suggested the following items:  Implementation Plan for the Hartwell Avenue TMOD. Continue work to advance this project through the funding labyrinth while undertaking more immediate projects that can be done by the Town. Safe crossings and sidewalks at the Hartwell/Bedford intersection should be a top priority.  Development of a town policy on active/liveable/complete streets considering accessibility for walkers and bicyclists in addition to motor vehicles. The Planning Board is requesting the Selectmen take a leadership role and endorse an initiative to set specific goals and standards as well as pursue certification as an Active Street Community.
