A follow up email to the RAC

As a follow up on Friday Nov 7,  I sent this email to the RAC...

Thank You for your time and consideration addressing our paving request for Ship Pond Road at the Road Advisory Meeting last night.   I’ve gone back and taken some more accurate measurements of the different sections. I also want to be clear that we are not willing to support a betterment for funding of this improvement.  Ship Pond is a MCSC (Minor Collector of Special Character) and  by definition this is : “Minor Collector – road used by general traffic to connect neighborhoods, or connect a Local Street to a Major Collector, with a traffic count in the range of 200 - 1000 ADT”.   This road supports much more then just the residential traffic.  Asking the residents of this road to support the financial burden of upgrading when so many other Plymouth residents would benefit from the upgrade is not reasonable.   We look forward to discussing this further at the next RAC meeting, at which time we hope to have input from Mr. Beder as well. 

 

Sincerely,

Robyn Risso
