SOUTHWICK – The Assistant Director of the DPW Jon Goddard briefed the Select Board Monday on the state’s Complete Streets program to determine if they want to participate.

“The overarching idea is that we’re providing thought and effort [looking at] different modes of transportation, so that we’re increasing pedestrian safety,” Goddard said when discussing the steps the town would need to take if it wanted to participate in the program.

The state’s Complete Streets Funding Program provides technical assistance and funding to municipalities to build streets that are safe, accessible, and comfortable for all users, regardless of age, ability, or mode of transportation, according to the state Department of Transportation.
