“We intended this to be a family friendly area for all ages,” Planning Board member Gordon Greene told the selectmen last week. “We think this is a good place to run some tests and see how well we can do.”

Items to be used include traffic calming tables, IDs at crosswalks reminding drivers that the walkers have the right of way, and mini-cushions similar to those used at Patriot Place.
According to Greene, the mini-cushions have been successful at the shopping center.

According to DPW head Roger Hill, the signage and plateaus are expected to arrive next month.
The estimated cost for everything is around $10,000 according to Hill.
