This particular location will be discussed amongst traffic and safety staff but in general crosswalks are not provided at every bus stop. More info is forthcoming. Bob Campbell
This particular bus stop is located right outside of Children of America daycare and Goldfish Swim School and is an extremely difficult area of Granite to cross for parents with young children dropping off/picking up kids during rush hour via public transportation.
After review by TASC, it was determined that this location is a hazardous place to cross due to the transitions of 2 lanes to 1 southbound and 1 lane to 2 northbound. The recommendation is to extend the sidewalk further south in order to cross at a safer location. This issue has been recategorized to long-term planning.
The Town plans to extend the sidewalk along the west side of Granite Street and provide a crossing in the vicinity of Andersen Road in conjunction with a MassDOT "Complete Streets" grant awarded this year.
