The survey allows the community to provide feedback on street improvements, sidewalks, safe crossings, smoother streets, and bike routes. Responses are due by March 12th.
The project is currently in the design phase, with a prior study identifying needs to fill sidewalk gaps, paint a new crossing and build two raised crossings on South Pond Street.
