Thank you for reporting this request. One of our Public Works staff will take a look at the issue. If we need further information we will contact you via email by posting on your SeeClickFix Issue.

As part of the recent resurfacing project on Summer Street and in the keeping with the Town’s commitment to Complete Streets the Public Works Department removed non-compliant accessible ramps and installed compliant ones at the strategic location of Pine Street at Summer Street.

The school and crossing guards are aware of the change and will be stationed at Main Street / Summer Street and Pine Street / Summer Street. This new layout more efficiently handles the flow of school children and improves accessibility of all residents.

This week the top course, crosswalk striping, signs and other improvements will be installed prior to the start of school.

Thanks for the explanation. It's looking great out there already. Good job folks!

New compliant ramp installed and painted for school.

Great job on refurbishing Summer Street and getting it ready for the school season.

Is that paint on the crosswalk the final product? This is a very thin coat of spray paint that barely covers the road surface. This is a very busy street and I'm sure that will wear away quickly. It does not seem to be up to the usual standards for painting a crosswalk.

Thanks

School Department painted the crosswalk with their athletic field sprayer. Town will try to get the contractor to paint this area on the next time they are in town.

Thank you.
