Re: Complete Streets Prioritization Plan — Four Priority Projects Cost Estimates
Priority Project Cost Estimates
This memorandum includes the descriptions and cost estimates for four high priority projects (out of the 24
projects submitted in the March 16th memo). These four projects were chosen for their ability to be rapidly
implemented, and therefore submitted to MassDOT as the first round of projects for 2018 or 2019. These projects
require either minimal engineering and design work or the majority of that work has been completed already by
the Town. The deadline for Tier 2 submission to MassDOT is Sunday April 15Y, 2018. To meet the deadline, the
Prioritization Plan matrix is recommended for submission to MassDOT by Friday, March 301h. The Construction
Application for the high priority projects listed below is due May V.
The following table describes each of the four projects and includes their estimated cost:
