East Hartford Avenue Causeway Committee

The East Hartford Avenue Causeway Committee is charged with developing a long-term and short-term strategy to redesign and rebuild the affected area to alleviate the safety problem on the East Hartford Avenue Causeway. 

Long-term solutions will include developing design plans for improvements to the causeway. This will include potential costs for building a separate pedestrian crossing or improvements to the existing causeway.

Design, construction, and permitting costs should all be evaluated and reported to the Select Board after consultation with the DPW Director, Police, and Fire Chiefs.

The short-term plan the Committee will consider will include items such as speed restrictions and or truck limitations along the causeway to be implemented as soon as possible. The Committee will also conduct outreach to nearby properties and MassDOT for design input.

The Committee will be made up of one (1) Member of the Public Safety Committee (the DPW Director), the Town Manager, the Police Chief, the Fire Chief, and one (1) member of the Public. There are also two Ad Hoc committee members from the Planning and Conservation. The Committee will begin on 08/01/2023, with the dissolution of the Committee after the project upgrades.
