especially those of the neighbors and so that was that was a hearing back in may since that time we started developing those plans we've we've received those comments and we actually sent a letter to the select board on we laid out those comments to our these plans the agency has hired a consultant c l v to do this project to do the design work for this project and see all these here they are truck driver here and christian writer from c l the  actually give a presentation to explain to the purpose of our being here is kind to explain to the select board this is we're out with this project and to show you showed folks how we're looking to move forward and also we do want to you know just give folks an opportunity to weigh in and i don't you know the further along we get down the path of a project the harder it is to make changes especially big type of changes so we thought of you just kind of common courtesy of anything we work with the property owners and there's a process there's well first of all there's a legal process that we're required to follow per state law in fact we're spending federal dollars for the project so federal rules as well but  that process can take anywhere from a year to two years so sometimes they can go faster you know did a lot does depend on if your folks are really in favor of them things can happen real fast but  has like every single utility i think in the area attached to it will suffer if you don't see it when you go by next time you're there look at it because you see conduits coming up from the ground everything in the air so that's going to have to get so we actually were out there process but the last one we did was around a billion bucks so that's you know it's when you do full reconstruction gets you get expensive but it's worth it i mean we're in a lot of towns where they're working it's like let's do it do it right so we're promise that came up was folks turning left here provide gas and sometimes even though they have the right of way that some of our problems but what this is going to do is going to let this all clear out and so even though people will stop there and make a left stack up right now is going to be essentially free flowing and so with the volume of cars that are making those laughter vehicles that are making those left turns there might be some times when you have to wait longer than now because won't happen able to stop and give you that laughter but the free flowing traffic should open it up for people to get it out in a laugh that is one of our one of the challenge on this project we don't i'm not going to refute that i understand that  that's why if the volumes do increase we're going to have the infrastructure in there first signal which is going to help that left turn lane but it's just not warranted right now and from the user perspective we've got i made were we were required to make sound business decisions all solve so all you know we're we're going to look at it every the whole big picture and so we realize that it's not a perfect solution for all of the users but it's a good solution as a whole when you look at the product as a whole and we're trying to like i said before by providing that infrastructure be ready to get in there and get that signal and if when that day comes it probably will call for a single obviously  stuff that we do sometimes and i think the next step past this would be a full fledged signal i mean there probably are things you could go and roll your sleeves and we could look at a book with make a big enough impact if the volumes end up but we'll be keeping an eye on it and i mean there's something else that has a slight board if you know development happened i mean it's hard you know it's hard to look in a crystal ball and it takes a couple of big developments and for you know  know so if it isn't warranted safety block is designed mean that there should be something made so they can make two lanes or four that it should just be a two lane make it the safest way possible considered a bad thing it's mowing and i'm not sure if it's illegal or not i'm going to be the right one to ask it when it can be bad is in this situation where you're trying to make a left and someone comes up on your right and you can't see past them now i think that was one of the big comments we did matter of fact we were going to have two lanes here originally and there was a strong strong comments if i were to be here in same please don't do that because we're having trouble enough as it is trying to see right to make a left merchant bank which is only one point two miles change out of the thirty five miles of our city what that does for the safety of the intersection i think we also t which i presented records from the fire department saying says we put in the l e d time tempter community message board we thought the traffic was going slower survey and eighty five percent of the people are going forty five to forty eight miles an hour so that's going to be the speed limit i'm concerned about the people that live in  next restaurant the body shop just beyond there all those people that have to pull out of those driveways then nothing is slowing those cars down there continually going fifty miles an hour  don't you what you do and this is an this is something we were always for we're always educating folks on is it the speed limit is set based on what the majority traffic is traveling that you can lower the speed accordingly and this is based on years of practice and experience within the state but also across the country so in this area we did that it's forming to fifty miles an  follow it be trends we do we based on the data we do look at other things and we do look at crash data it's not you know i say it's a cold hard rule i mean if you're looking at the big picture you look at all the different perhaps what that also does does a couple things but one of the things that makes you as a left turn or start making some arrests that maybe you wouldn't have made if you had that refuge and so one of the things that the left turn lane gives you is it gives you as a driver a chance to get out of the main line of the main flow of traffic and wait till a safe turn time to make that left without having a car climbing up your up your back to that might rear end you to not have to think about that you're now in your refuge and so when these then that intersection right there where everybody has to back up to wait for somebody to take a left on the brown straits provides intervals in the traffic at all the other businesses in roof hundred fifteen in jericho so that people can take a left out of jerry  and i laughed out of the pizza place and all the other left that you need to take the left out of the elementary school even when you're driving your kids up at the elementary school and then you have to take a left to head to work you  it is just a perfect solution of this intersection i'm not sure i think that given the constraints we have and the fact that we feel like it is going to decrease the prices we're seen  businesses and we want even more businesses so it's for me when you were talking about how you know easy it would be to go straight through that's that's almost like jarring to my ears  agency that serving the entire public we've got to look at the big picture as well in our in our budgets and in our funds available to make sure we're serving them every taxpayer appropriately so  your property in this area and i'm not saying that's that's that's a main reason that we said no we look at everything so we look at all these different factors for making these decisions so just a kind of trance from one on on folks here  fairgrounds where you can take a left into the air and then urge right to get into the traveling over fifteen and i'm just wondering if that's something that could possibly happen here you know what i'm talking about there's like a little should be lower most people i was thirty five very few people up there fifty miles an hour gary and now you've got a couple of years before driving constructing this what would it take to just lower the speed limit to say forty though to decide tonight or if you're next review him before the board you know that this is going to be a permanent thing but say you know this is a temporary thing until we can start this project together some data you know give people a few changes in the circumstances you could get quite large changes in the degree to which people pack yeah yeah the last persons mainly because it learned that the town share of the retirement plans went up slightly yeah i saw that there was an increase in benefit number something so that brings the total spending to three million six hundred twenty four thousand nine hundred sixty six which is a thirteen percent of increase over last year's budget that's mainly because of all the capital projects we go to the first page of general tax revenue when he's right right as it is now that it's a sixty seven thousand dollars increase or two permanent it's just to give people time to do the research because they they didn't you know know how to say something about how they didn't there was no research on how other towns are handling it that you know we need to
