Top issues during term (20)(Roads)
School Street speeding and cut-through traffic
Cost of a staff traffic study; not yet quantified.
Central Square Traffic Lane Configuration
Changing the plan would cost little since it's mostly paint, but traffic delays could affect downtown business revenue.
Wells Garage lower level public parking
Could affect downtown parking availability and any associated revenue.
Thompson Road right-of-way alteration (R-2026-37)
Compensation payments to the Walker and Ball property owners for right-of-way takings; amount not stated.
Bridge project funding shift
Moves bridge repair dollars between projects, potentially delaying Sullivan Road work.
Marlboro Street parking and enforcement
Parking enforcement costs come out of a self-funded parking fund that's already straining to cover expenses.
Marlboro Street and Cheshire Rail Trail improvements
Appropriation amount not stated in the agenda.
Downtown infrastructure construction timeline
Winter work means hauling hot-mix asphalt from Massachusetts at extra contractor cost, aimed at keeping the 2028 finish.

Marlboro Street ADA compliance work

Minor cost for signage and installation.

$51,408 in supplemental requests; revenue up 3%.
