This road is a serious hazard without any shoulder or sidewalks (and poor visibility of people with the curve) and I honestly can't believe someone hasn't been hit by a car. There are no sidewalks to take people from the trail up to lake ave up the hill and this is a highly trafficked road. Adding more residential units will just increase the traffic and the risk. The planning board should fine solutions that take the "complete streets" initiative into account. In the winter it is nearly impossible to walk on this street due to snow banks and no shoulder. Prior to granting any approvals for building (which means trucks and construction vehicles) pedestrian safety and traffic needs to be addressed. Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed.
