4. Purpose & Need (Roadway)

5. Purpose & Need (Waterline)
Records indicate the line was placed into service in 1930’s.
There have been at least 4 documented water-main breaks within the last 10 years.
Recommended upsizing of the existing 6” line to 8” from North Star to Northwest to increase pressure & fire flows

6. Purpose & Need (Storm Sewer)
No defined storm sewer system
Flooding problems in 5yr event along Northwest
Does not meet current water quality requirements
Ponding in roadway adds to roadway failure

7. Purpose & Need (Safety)
Fire Accessibility
Roadway width
Parking
Not functional with current width and 2-way traffic
Traffic Calming
Connectivity to Schools
No regional pathway system throughout project
Does not connect to bike path on North Star

8. Purpose & Need (Transportation)
Waltham Road too Narrow

9. Purpose & Need (Transportation)
Waltham Road too Narrow
Not Wide Enough for Two-Way Traffic and Dedicated Parking
25’ Wide Currently, Should Be ≥ 30’
1/3 of Reported Crashes on Waltham Road Involve Parked Cars
Increased Emergency vehicle response time

10. Purpose & Need (Transportation)
Waltham Road/Northwest Boulevard

11. Purpose & Need (Transportation)
Waltham Road/Northwest Boulevard
Crash Rate is Over Twice the Statewide Average for a Similar Type Facility
Excessive Delays for Eastbound and Westbound Traffic Crossing Northwest Boulevard
Poor Viewing Angle on East Leg Looking South
Incorrect lane usage for vehicles turning northbound from Edgement to Northwest

12. Purpose & Need (Transportation)
Lack of Pedestrian Features

13. Opportunities (Bike / Ped.)

14. Opportunities (Gateways)

15. Alternatives & Public Involvement
