The Board thanked him for coming and offered any assistance he might need. The first matter is a proposal to have Goldsmith Street reconstructed and funded through a new plan using local, state and federal funds. The program targets roads that are local roads connecting to other towns and Goldsmith St.fNewtown Rd. We would attempt to obtain grant funding for reconstruction. The town would design the project, the Federal Governnient would fund it and the State would administer and build the road.
Requirements are safety issues to provide better automobile travel and bicycle and pedestrian lanes.
We would need to get a waiver for some of the large trees on Goldsmith St. and a waiver for the road width. If we proceed with the project it would go from Shaker Lane to King St. at the Common. Mr. Durling has informed Mr. Guertin that the Town would be interested in including the intersection at the Common. We could use Chapter 90 funds or pay for it outright. We would not have to make this decision until we know that the project is approved.
