Natick's Main Street Working Group deferred a vote on endorsing a hybrid street redesign to June 8 or 9 after members identified information gaps. The 14-member group unanimously approved meeting minutes and heard public comment questioning the design's safety implications and funding drivers. Morgan Griffiths (town staff) clarified that the project predated Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funding and was rooted in the town's 2019 master plan.
Key outstanding questions included estimated annual snow removal costs of $250,000, pedestrian safety impacts in downtown segments, and utility relocation expenses. Deputy Chief Brian Lauzon agreed to provide public safety input before the group's follow-up vote.
