The Trar�fic Safety Committee is unanimous in the poaition that every
street i� Town should ever,tually have a pedestrian walk separate from
vehicular traffic. We do not believe that ehe priority ix� the instal-
l.ation of sidew�lks can be based or� zhe number of houses on a s�re�t.
Priority considerati_ons sho�:ld be as follaws:
1. Locations wh,ere the absence of a separate pede�trian way leads ta
ar �s apt to l�ad to accidents.
2. Heavily travelled streets (colZectors and arterials) .
3, Whenever a �treet i� accepted and huilt by the town (especially,
if it connects to other streets with sideraalk5) y because of a
signi.ficaa�t saving due t� simultaneous construction.
