The Case for a Crosswalk across Pond Street at the Woburn Parkway,[object Object],Prepared for:,[object Object],The Winchester Board of Selectmen,[object Object],September 8, 2009,[object Object],with input from Winchester Residents,[object Object]
500+ acre Horn Pond Conservation Area is a major ,[object Object],attraction/attribute for Winchester residents,[object Object]
Winchester’s only access point lacks a crosswalk,[object Object],Three existing crosswalks to Horn,[object Object],Pond in Woburn; Closest is 0.4 miles,[object Object],from Woburn Parkway (Winchester ‘s ,[object Object],only direct access to Horn Pond),[object Object],Closest crosswalk,[object Object],is 3/10 mile away!,[object Object],Proposed crosswalk across ,[object Object],Pond Street at Chesterford to,[object Object],Woburn Parkway access to ,[object Object],Horn Pond Recreational area,[object Object],Existing crosswalk at Cambridge ,[object Object],Street (Route 3) is 0.3 miles,[object Object],from Woburn Parkway,[object Object]
Lots of people cross at Woburn Parkway access,[object Object]
But cars don’t stop for children, bikes, strollers, etc.,[object Object]
Traffic moves fast and crosses the yellow line ,[object Object]
Residents agree ,[object Object],that a crosswalk is needed at the,[object Object],Woburn Parkway,[object Object],access to the Horn ,[object Object],Pond area,[object Object]
Why now?,[object Object],In three weeks the town will install granite curbs and new sidewalks along Pond Street.,[object Object],The new crosswalk will require an ADA approved handicap ramp.,[object Object],We should not waste town resources installing a curb that will be removed later for the ramp.,[object Object],Three-way stops and other traffic calming measures can be deliberated, but the crosswalk and ramp need to be expedited.,[object Object]
Pre-construction Meeting Outcomes,[object Object],Woburn Parkway is a popular recreational path.,[object Object],Traffic Advisory Committee will evaluate the traffic calming suggestions, including the Chesterford intersection.,[object Object],A crosswalk would be an effective traffic calming measure and would accommodate existing pedestrian traffic to the Woburn Parkway.,[object Object],Only concern is whether there is sufficient sight distance to allow for a safe crossing.,[object Object],Source:  September 3, 2009 Memo to Board of Selectmen from Town Manager ,[object Object],Mel Kleckner regarding Pond Street Sidewalk Project/Traffic Calming,[object Object]
There is 900 feet of sight distance looking north,[object Object],Proposed crosswalk location ,[object Object],visible from  Brantwood  Road ,[object Object],(Lynch School entrance),[object Object],Line of sight is 900 feet. Utility,[object Object],pole is past Brantwood  Road ,[object Object],(Lynch School entrance),[object Object],Nearest  crosswalk  in this direction  is,[object Object],0.4 miles, at Horn Pond Recreation area,[object Object],in Woburn; Next crosswalk is another 100 ft.,[object Object]
And over 400 feet of sight distance looking south,[object Object],Line of sight from proposed crosswalk,[object Object], looking south towards Cambridge Street,[object Object],(Route 3)  is over 400 feet.,[object Object],Line of sight looking towards ,[object Object],proposed crosswalk is over,[object Object],400 feet,[object Object],Nearest  crosswalk  in this direction  is,[object Object],0.3 miles, at Cambridge Street (Route 3).,[object Object]
And, national standards exist for warning of upcoming crosswalks/stops,[object Object],Winchester, MA,[object Object],Belmont, MA,[object Object]
Thank You!,[object Object],Contact: Tom Hopcroft, 99 Pond Street, tom@masstlc.org or 617-513-1010,[object Object]
