Town of Mansfield

Transportation Advisory Committee

Minutes of the Meeting

May 16, 2006

Present:    Zimmer, Hall, Hultgren (staff)

The meeting began at 7:42 p.m.

Minute approval was postponed as only two members were present.

Hultgren reported that UConn agreed to support the fare-free bus system for ’06-’07 but that future years were still to be determined.  A stakeholders group needs to be set up to discuss the future of this program.

Hultgren updated members on current projects noting the Town will be receiving an additional enhancement grant of $1.173M and has applied for a safe roads to school grant to finish the Birch Road bikeway.

Members reviewed and discussed the safe roads to school plan for the Goodwin School District.  No objections were noted.

Hall asked about the Mansfield City Road/Crane Hill Road intersection.  Hultgren said a project to make it more of a “T” intersection was designed, but would probably not be implemented until 2007.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:20 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Lon R. Hultgren

Director of Public Works
