We are currently in the process of designing the sidewalks and wanted to get input from town residents. The proposed draft design can be found here. All of the proposed work is planned to be constructed in the existing right-of-way and does not require any taking of abutter’s property.
Our goal of this project is two-fold. First, the sidewalks will dramatically improve the safety for pedestrians in this our busiest commercial district. It will also improve traffic safety as driveway ingress and egress will be more defined. Second, we hope this project will beautify the area. In this effort, a few street trees are proposed as well as a brick inlay at the edge of the sidewalk.
We welcome any comments you have regarding this proposed project. Please email comments to town.administrator@webster-ma.gov or call at 508-949-3800 ext. 4000. We believe this will be a great benefit to the businesses along this stretch of East Main and to the Town as a whole.
