DOT may install Route 7 speed sign if town supplies equipment; county added new striping on Graham Boulevard

Town planner Laura Robertson reported a recent meeting with DOT about the Route 7 project and said the regional agency indicated it might include a town‑purchased speed sign within its contractor's scope if the town supplies the sign and pays for the unit. Robertson noted the town's earlier $40,000 estimate did not cover installation or engineering and welcomed the possibility DOT could assist with siting and installation.

Separately, Robertson said the county recently applied white hash marks and intersection bump-out striping on Graham Boulevard to improve pedestrian crossing safety; the committee asked staff to monitor the striping’s effect and to follow up with DOT about landscaping and a potential relocation of a town welcome sign.
