Residents of Cedarville can expect significant improvements to their road infrastructure as discussions at the Plymouth Select Board meeting on October 29, 2024, highlighted ongoing efforts to address traffic and road conditions in the area.
A key focus of the meeting was the need for enhancements along State Road, where local residents have reported rough conditions. The Cedarville Advisory Committee is actively working on proposals for traffic lights to improve safety, although the specifics of collaboration between this committee and the Roads Advisory Committee remain unclear.
Concerns were raised about the stalled process of accepting unaccepted roads, which has been attributed to staffing shortages within the Department of Public Works (DPW). The Roads Advisory Committee noted that without these roads being officially accepted, the town is missing out on potential funding for maintenance. It was emphasized that moving this process forward is crucial for the town's financial health.
Additionally, plans for two roundabouts in Cedarville were discussed, with one expected to commence soon, funded by a $2 million contribution from a local foundation. This development aims to enhance traffic flow and safety in the area.
The meeting underscored the importance of collaboration between various committees and the DPW to ensure that road improvements are prioritized and executed efficiently, ultimately benefiting the Cedarville community. As these initiatives progress, residents can look forward to safer and better-maintained roads in their neighborhood.
