both sides of the roadway, the City would need to reduce the approximately
5' wide sidewalk on the south side of the west end of West Hollis Street by
approximately 2 feet. This additional roadway width could accommodate
two 10’ travel lanes in addition to maintaining on-street parking on both
sides of the roadway. This modification to the sidewalk is estimated to cost
approximately $20,000.

bicyclists traveling in the same direction. This type of signal phasing, as opposed to
exclusive pedestrian phasing that only allows pedestrians to cross when vehicles on
all approaches to the intersection are stopped, would provide enhance both
pedestrian and vehicular mobility.

Hollis Street /Spring Street traffic signal. Also, patrons of the Post Office would no
longer be able to queue along one of the travel lanes when the parking lot gets
congested (as they do today) as the northbound traffic would be limited to one lane.
Nevertheless, if the City is committed to begin to convert some of its one-way streets
to two-way, Spring Street may be a good location to start.

Study Findings

@ Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.

* Maintain one-way operation East Hollis Street and East Pearl Street, but
convert Spring Street to two-way.

* Consider any circulation modifications within the context of future land
development projects.

These and many other comments and suggestions were considered in the
development of the Study Findings.

parking lot. Prior to the City advancing the conversion to two-way flow along Court
Street and Park Street it would be advantageous to work with the owner of the 30
Temple Street property to consider whether a reconfiguration of the Court
Street/Temple Street intersection could be coordinated with any development
proposal.

by four to seven percent during the peak hours.
