Pedestrian Safety

[McCreery, Edward P.]

May we place on the agenda for the next CC meeting whether we should look into possibly requesting the state to consider introducing cross walk flashers at two state highway crossings of heavily used trails maintained by the trails committee.  I mentioned to Teresa that I saw one in operation in Maine and it worked great.  The two spots that come to my mind is the pedestrian crossing of Route 108 at the dog park and the trail crossing on Rt 110 from Nicholdale to Willis Woods.  When a pedestrian is going to cross they press the button and solar powered LED lights flash around the perimeter of the cross walk sign.  Very effective I feel but no need to debate the merits via email.  I would just like it added to the agenda.   Thanks.  EPM

I agree that the amount of pedestrian activity at a crossing would highlight where it should occur.  If memory serves me, there was a fatal incident at the RecPath crossing on Meadow Street a while back?  The solar powered lighting is key to have flexibility in location installation being independent from grid infrastructure.  I believe it may be a concept that would be directed toward the Police Dept Traffic Division for consideration or implementation.

The is a button on both sides of Route 108 that causes all the lights to turn red and the walk lights to come on. In addition to the Nicholdale crossing of 110, the Paugussett Trail crosses 110 at Indian Well Road.

The Huntington Street walk as well, where the path crosses the street in two places. There are crosswalks and signage, but it’s easy to miss a pedestrian on the side of the road waiting to cross. Most cars don’t see them or stop. I look, but sometimes I don’t see them either. Especially when the vegetation gets tall and someone is dress in dark gray and standing in a shadow at the end of the crosswalk.
