OLD COLONY PLANNING COUNCIL PRESENTS RT. 138 BOTTLENECK STUDY: A sparse crowd turned up for a Bottleneck Study Workshop on the Rt. 138 corridor and downtown Wednesday night at Town Hall.
The Old Colony Planning Council has and is conducting a study of Route 138, from Stoughton Square north to the Canton town line, to relieve traffic bottlenecks and to develop alternative solutions to enhance traffic flow and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety.
There was a presentation and discussion on concepts that the OCPC hopes will result in a vision for future development and improvements in the 138 corridor.
Among those who DID come were Selectmen John Stagnone, John Anzivino and Cynthia Walsh. Also there was former Selectman Lou Gitto, Ted Philips of Rep. Lou Kafka's office,Emily Dix of Senator Brian Joyce's office, DPW Superintendent John Batchelder. and Town Engineer Ben Feehan.
Business was represented by Rob Kushner, owner of Uncle Milty's Army-Navy store; Robert Branzcewski, who represented his girlfriend who owns Fairy Tales Formals; and Mark Snyder, Vice Chairman of the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce. Noticeable in their absence were any members of the Planning Board or the Town Planner.
Gitto suggested that Town Hall employees park in the municipal lot behind the police station, freeing up the parking lot behind Town Hall for customers of downtown stores. It was also suggested that employees of those stores park on Railroad Ave. in another lot owned by the town, freeing up spaces in front of the stores for their customers.
