Item Title:
MASSDOT - CROSSWALK & SIGNAGE - STANDARD MARINE OUTFITTERS

Item Detail:

13.     WRITTEN MOTION, Councillors Abreu and Rebeiro, requesting, that the New Bedford City Council send a letter to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Traffic Division, advocating for a crosswalk and additional pedestrian safety signage adjacent to the new "Standard Marine Outfitters" facility located at 137 Pope's Island, New Bedford, that the crosswalk and safety signage be installed for a safe and easy pedestrian access to this new facility located on Route 6 directly across from the very busy "Pope's Island Marina," which has seen a 300% increase in recent years in both dock fees and launch services in moorings and as New Bedford continues to strive as the number one ranked Fishing Port in the United States, it is imperative that our Local, State and Federal Elected Representatives continue to be actively engaged in matters such as these, which not resolved could have a negative economic impact for our City, Region, State and Country. (To be Referred to MassDOT Traffic Division Assistant Direct Maintenance Engineer Kenneth Charlton, and our entire State Legislative Delegation).
