Roadway Traffic Study Committee approves prior minutes, discusses traffic boxes and 40B development impacts.
Roadway Traffic Safety Committee · Meeting of May 12, 2026
ASHLAND — Roadway Traffic Study Committee addressed traffic-box murals and residential development impacts. The first traffic box at Front and Main streets was completed; Duca and Magnani will assess a second planned box on Union Street due to proximity concerns. Two 40B projects drew discussion: the 61 Waverly Street development could add over 300 rush-hour vehicles at Union Street and Waverly Street, while a 55 W.
Union Street project sparked opposition from Committee member Dan Maurer over the developer's request for a sewer pumping station instead of gravity-feed flow; Maurer anticipates potential court action. Sidewalk updates on Cedar Street and High Street using ARPA funding are pending, and the committee received resident letters regarding traffic gate installations at Captain Eames Circle and their impact on school bus stops and surrounding roads.
