Williston Northampton School Revised Proposal for Raised Speed Table and Pedestrian Crossing at Park Street Athletic Center Present from Williston: Chuck McCullagh, Mark Reed, and Brian Wing. The old crosswalk will be removed, and the new raised crosswalk will replace it right in front of the entrance to the center. The new raised crosswalk will have two new catch basins installed on the southern side for drainage. Williston will pave from Brewster Ave to raised crosswalk and then 83 feet passed the raised crosswalk south. This will help with water flow to the catch basins. The new crosswalk will be 10 feet wide. The design they presented tonight is the final design pending the Board’s approval. Board agrees this revised plan has addressed the concerns and issues discussed in the previous presentation. Greg approves of the design, and is happy with the amount of paving they will be doing.
