thought they would be great to share that with everyone because you can part about what's what's going on with projects all over town and helps us all to kind of figure out where where our priorities are and what's going on and also to give credit to a lot of things that the v w is doing i  thank time for the snow removal here we are now this time of year it's a long way away from the snow but they did a great job this winter and i know many other towns a lot of leftover problems of people's fences plowed over and just  sewers and it's it's a lot of planning a lot of capital thing that goes into our department every year we go from you know this time of year where we're planning our paving projects throughout the summer follows all of our own as with all of our be gateways that clearly identified the entrance way into west would call star imprints so as statically you'll look beautiful you know a lot of give vehicular travel a sense of almost some sort of restriction that will limit their speed and hopefully reduce volumes as well on the horizon working with mass the o t a here's a project known as a complete streets project which would incorporate bicycle pedestrian bicycle advisory lanes and a sidewalk this is on the horizon we don't want that to be confused with our current project right now that we're working i hope to get out in bed in construct this summer but the complete streets project could be two three years down the road but if the town buys into this and actually wants to pursue this option it will be stay the construction will be one hundred percent one hundred percent state funded the town would have to put up some money for design but it would incorporate a bicycle advisory and have a sidewalk on the cancer recorder which would complement what we're recording out the door the summer is fires the median strips and you have that real thorough residential feel along that corridor and also provide a safer obviously value for bicycle listen to the require the town to consider all these things it sounds like you're already going to they're already doing a lot of that but the vanity of having a policy will be there is a program you're describing that we can do these are projects and get funding for who climb it really opens up the opportunity gives the department of public works at a checklist of some sort every time you take on a project a checklist to adhere to of much of that check this is really good with bicycle accommodation sidewalk and hansen's compliance issues and so on and so forth so  you mentioned gay street sidewalks and that is something that ever since i moved here i was living in a gay street and we everybody i talk to they want to they would love to have something like that but it's always been a huge challenge  there are we could definitely pull it off as everything is it becomes a dollar where are we going to get funding for this and you know is this potentially going to move forward and how so so we're making headway and it's nothing that i i wouldn't say it's impossible to get this done it's just going to have to receive buy in from the community and get some support more than likely the town meeting upcoming town meeting and then hopefully you know with our complete streets policy then we might  take advantage of outside funding sources to offset the overall cost of a project like this so would it involve taking people's property or what we're still the pull of an early stages right now everything that we've looked at in explored appears to be within the layout of k street so that would make things a lot easier but it wouldn't be necessarily takings involved it just depends on what side of the road we maintain the sidewalk on you want if you want some level of consistency you don't really want to start idea field work your way up to say a fat chair or a cross gate so that you're there you go down to see the value of how badly you want to try to maintain some level of consistency so that's something that works for me now and seeing if it is feasible and you're looking when you look at these projects the major theme even with the complete streets is connectivity and if we're going to one day have a sidewalk along here in street look at the connectivity that you've created in with regards to university station  with with our bicycle advisory lane a lot of google drive and everything tied into one another on that side of town poking into you know all the way over to k street with a sidewalk a street essentially f always down to washington street which can then take you everywhere via a sidewalk so that's the main theme here is you want to look at connectivity and its potential and once the advisory lane can you just a little bit about so on to help drive there is one take on will incorporate sherron watkins show markings identified clearly a shared road between bicycle s and vehicles themselves now with blue hill drive where we're going to do is incorporate a bicycle advisory way which is a clearly identified lane specifically for bicycles use will be striving google drive after we believe that it's a perfect i wouldn't call it test pilot but in a sense it's the first road in town that will actually have a clearly identified bicycle size or even in town so we're going to we typically will drive will scrape it as such and then hopefully one day we can actually accommodate that striving to continue at some point down the of history so that's that's an easier but with all the markings that are there you're still not clearly identifying the weight so it just it is easier in a sense to take on a new paving projects if in which kind of corporate bicycle about is related to do so that and so i would with regards to washington street for example i'd feel more apt to give you an answer as we're going to wait till we get some sort of a treatment that obviously blocks out the existing there's just so many margins between the father eyes the arrows the yellows right now that but bottom line is that for people to get from that neighborhood to the she and school they use kind of it's difficult there's a couple of there's a light at burgess but other than that people coming from further out there's no light at  or stop or anything or there's a stop but it's tough that intersection right on this would be across a flashing crosswalk sign in that area is that intersection you know if there's any plans  studies for that whole intersection because i know that's come up a lot and has come up a lot and there have been different and different options discussed there's nothing that's been one hundred percent decided upon as of yet but just different reconfiguration of that intersection that he's he's pretty excited to design this on his own and you know hopefully you know maybe next summer we can look to explore this again funding sources in this you know have to be something that we dive into  encourage your viewers to come back next month as we will try to schedule a series of these in florida state's also the pedestrian bike safety committee meets on the first wednesday of each month at seven thirty here kirby street you can checked our website for contact information and to see what's on the agenda and anyone is welcome at that meeting we have appointed committee members that we have lots of times or people come to bring concerns about different about safety in different parts of
