On Thursday, July 6, 2023, the Select Board approved sending this letter to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation regarding the proposed project at Route 28 (Randolph Ave) and Chickatawbut Road. The Select Board's comments included: the need for immediate short-term improvements because of the safety issues that exist at this intersection, a request for a site visit to better understand the concerns of residents, particularly abutters who live near to and travel on Randolph Ave, and appreciation for MassDOT's announcement of a corridor traffic study which had been requested by the Town previously.
The Select Board also wrote, "At this time, the Select Board cannot support the final roundabout design and is asking that MassDOT pause its design and permitting work on the proposed roundabout design until additional traffic report information is shared with the Town and until the completion of the Route 28 Corridor Traffic Study."
