Changes Coming
Because pedestrian and bike safety have become a priority, look for the state Department of Transportation to upgrade the crosswalk on Kennedy Drive. Currently there is one plain yellow crosswalk sign in the area between a River Trail parking lot and Riverview Landscaping/Ice Cream. It will be much more visible, much more reflective, likely flashing when the button is pushed.  Town Administrator Elaine Sistare said it’s likely to be done in 2025.  “State DOT has been making it a priority for pedestrian and bike safety lately - as the state has seen an increase in pedestrian injuries and fatalities in recent years.” Linda Lemmon photo.
