You Ask, Patch Answers: What's Up With The Main Street Curb?

This week's question: "Can someone explain the granite curbing in the middle of Main Street and how it factors into the pedestrian walkway? Won't that pose a problem for safety vehicles and/or winter plowing?"

Public Works Director Lisa Fauteux explained that it's part of the lit crosswalk design, which will use "bollards" on either side to trigger the lights, as needed, when a pedestrian approaches the Main Street crossing. 

To better understand how it works, watch the video, in which I walk and talk you through Fauteux's answer. 

As for part two of the question: "During the design phase of the project we met with the Fire Department and they were fine with it," Fauteux said.

Now you know.
