Building Committee Chair Elaine Neely on Wednesday reported to the Prudential Committee that her panel received nine responses to the request for qualifications issued by the district and conducted interviews with three finalists last week. Representatives from Construction Monitoring Services, Colliers Property Management and the Architectural Consulting Group met for about an hour apiece over Zoom with the Building Committee, which includes the representatives from the district and the community at large. All three of the finalists have experience managing public safety building projects, including one, ACG, which served as the OPM on the recently completed Williamstown Police station.

Utility snafu continues to bog down Beach Road project
Bagged asphalt is applied to patch Beach Road on Feb. 11. Rich Saltzberg
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation identified drainage “conflicts” in December that have impacted a $4.8 million shared-use path project along Beach Road in Vineyard Haven. The conflicts, which were revealed to be water and sewer lines running in places different from what was allegedly found in plans, were discovered by cutting through the asphalt and digging test pits. The water and sewer lines occupy space where drainage infrastructure is slated for installation.
“Due to the findings, the designer is working to redesign drainage elements to avoid conflicts with the sewer main, and looking for options to handle the water main conflicts that include relocation of [an] additional water main, along with alterations to the proposed drainage,” MassDOT spokesperson Judith Reardon Riley emailed
Hedges and other vegetation along Route 28 at Freeman Street are impairing sight line visibility along Route 28. WILLIAM F. GALVIN PHOTO
HARWICH Thanks to hedges and other landscaping, as well as a slight bend in Route 28, entering traffic from Freeman Street or Snow Inn Road in Harwich Port can be a white-knuckle experience. The traffic safety committee has asked the selectmen to make changes to improve visibility at the intersection.
Traffic Safety Committee Chair Gerald Beltis said the crossroad has been the site of 13 accidents in recent years. In a presentation to selectmen last week, Beltis told the board the design of Route 28 with hills and curves does not allow for adequate visibility for either drivers or for pedestrians seeking to cross Route 28 or to take turns from Snow Inn Road or Freeman Street. He said a vehicle exiting those side streets needs to be in the middle of Route 28 to see oncoming traffic.
