Summary

An engineering firm working with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation requested comments on traffic-calming options; the planning board agreed to prepare a response and involve relevant town committees.

The Plaustow Planning Board on Aug. 6 agreed to respond to a request for comments from an engineering firm working with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation on proposed traffic‑calming measures. A board member said the firm requested a month for input and that the information sought is straightforward and suitable for the planning board’s review.

Board members asked staff to follow up with the DOT consultant to confirm the requested format for comments and to involve the planning board and other town stakeholders (for example, the police or public‑works officials) as appropriate. Karen Robinson reported she had been researching master-plan practices and related transportation chapters and that the board could incorporate those findings into its response.

No formal endorsement of specific treatments was given at the meeting; board members asked staff to draft a coordinated response and to circulate it for comment prior to submission to the DOT’s engineering consultant.
