WINCHENDON- INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT BLAIR SQUARE: FRONT STREET, CENTRAL STREET AND SPRING STREET AND ROUTES 12 AND 202

The primary project goals include implementation of improvements to improve traffic operations and enhance safety and accessibility for all users (motor vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles) by reducing conflict areas, minimizing pedestrian crossing distances and providing facilities for bicycles. The intersection currently experiences safety and operational concerns, including high crash rates, side street vehicular delays, limited sight distances, driver confusion due to unconventional vehicular traffic control, insufficient pedestrian accommodations, and lack of bicycle accommodations.
