I need to go by there-in all my years of driving by, I have never noticed a sidewalk on the Old Sudbury Rd side of 117.
Back when we were navigating the acquisition of some of the McDowell property, across from Drumlin, we explored all options for roadway improvements that might include a roadside path. It was determined that the road could not accommodate a path without not only takings of private land if private land owners were unwilling to give up frontage, but extensive alterations to the topography. Perhaps things have changed so that the crossing will offer access to a new path. > On Oct 16, 2025, at 10:31 AM, Joanna Schmergel > <[email protected]> wrote: > > “ a short section of sidewalk at the Old Sudbury Road end that connects to > the sidewalk on the opposite side of Route 117” per the Lincoln Squirrel > article > > > On Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 10:19 AM Sara Mattes <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> What paths does this crosswalk connect? >> If one side is a path, what is on the other? >> Sent from my iPad >> >>> On Oct 16, 2025, at 9:43 AM, Joanna Schmergel >>> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> >>> wrote: >>> >>> >>> Huge shoutout to the RTC, BPAC & town staff for getting the 117/Old Sudbury >>> Rd crosswalk project underway! >>> >>> I personally think this will greatly increase safety & improve the problem >>> of speeding in the 117/Tower rd danger area. >>> >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 8:28 AM Matthew <[email protected] >>> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>> https://lincolnsquirrel.com/2025/10/crosswalk/ >>>> End of November. >>>> >>>>> On Oct 16, 2025, at 6:34 AM, Kristine Barker <[email protected] >>>>> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Good morning- >>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> The town has done a great job telling us about the water main work >>>>> impacting the roads near 5 corners, which I appreciate greatly.
