What's the Status of the Main Street Revitalization Project?

Easton Department of Public Works Director David Field addressed questions about the Main Street Revitalization project at Monday's Board of Selectmen Meeting--when will the project be finished and how wide is the street now?

"The Main Street Project is substantially complete," said Field. "The ornamental lights will hopefully be activated in the middle of December. The pathway and parking lot portion has been suspended for the winter and will resume in the spring."

As far as the width question, "yes and no," he said, explaining that most of the road was 38-feet wide before and after the construction. The only difference is that in some areas, there are "bump outs" in some areas for crosswalks, meant to increase safety and draw greater visibility to pedestrians. 

In those areas, the road width goes down to 26 feet, Field said the bump outs "don't take up the road travel lanes, just parking."
