Street, Palm Street, and will be provided along the soon-to-be completed Broad Street
Parkway.
Also, the Nashua Heritage Rail Trail and the defined bicycle lanes along such
roadways as Temple Street and East Pearl Street are not well connected. This absence
of connectivity tends to discourage recreational bicyclists and young bicyclists from
using the existing bike facilities. Additionally, no bicycle racks were observed.
However, the City has recently purchased bike racks as part of the City’s sidewalk
reconstruction project. The City is currently considering where best to locate the bike
racks.
A review of crash data over the nine-year period of 2002 through 2010 showed the
Main Street/West Hollis Street/East Hollis Street intersection to have the most
reported crashes with an average of over 10 crashes per year. This intersection also
showed the highest occurrence of pedestrian related crashes with a total of eight
pedestrian related crashes over the nine-year period. Also of note, 70 percent of all
pedestrian related crashes within the study area occurred at signalized intersections
that have pedestrian crossing signals.
A summary of the existing conditions is depicted graphically in Figure 12.
