NH Route 28 Corridor Safety Study Alton, Barnstead, Pittsfield, Chichester, and Epsom NH Route 28 Corridor Safety Study Draft Document  Purpose: This Study will provide information to each of the five affected municipalities as well as to Lakes Region Planning Commission, Central NH Regional Planning Commission, and the NH Department of Transportation about the short-term and long-term outlook for this portion of the NH 28 Corridor regarding development, congestion, and safety. A series of findings and recommendations will help the municipalities understand the implications of land use decisions and will also provide a real sense of projected congestion so that they have the opportunity to make informed decisions. The planning commissions and the NH Department of Transportation will gain a better understanding of where the corridor will experience failures in the future. Project Outcomes:
Corridor Advisory Committee Meeting – Thursday, August 27th, 2009, 2:00-4:00 PM at the Chichester Town Hall. Agenda Past Meetings:

Other firms selected for interviews included McFarland Johnson and Fay, Spofford and Thorndike. VHB's role in the Route 28 Corridor Study is spearheaded by Robin Bousa, Project Manager, and Greg Bakos, Senior Highway Engineer. Frank Gross, of the Virginia office, will also be involved in Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Crash Reduction Factors. Their sixstep scope of work includes reviewing crash data, interviewing safety personnel and residents in the towns along the corridor, conducting a field review, making design and cost recommendations, providing a technical memo (by the end of July), and presenting these findings at a public meeting in August. The work by this engineering firm complements and builds on the Road Safety Audit work done by the Road Safety Audit Team with the assistance of CNHRPC, LRPC, and NH DOT. |
