I am a member of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to the Brunswick Town Council. I attended the<br />
first public meeting and plan to attend the others and work shops. I have several concerns. The first is that the Route<br />
1 interchange should include a high quality bicycle and pedestrian bike access to the existing Androscoggin<br />
Bike/Pedestrian path. By high quality I mean one that is safe and accessible for the cyclist of average ability and<br />
experience. The bicycle access to the Rte 196 bypass at the other end of the bike path is not of high quality. It forces<br />
one into fast traffic on a turn. Most cyclists familiar with the area will choose to ride on the pedestrian sidewalk<br />
which is much safe, but this obviously causes conflict with pedestrians. My second concern is that study should look<br />
closely and consider bicycle and pedestrian access (again high quality) at all of the proposed access points to the<br />
Base that were spelled out in the original master plan. Again thanks for listening. Will Wilkoff, Brunswick<br />

One issue your study might look at why has been a lot of demand for industrial and <strong>com</strong>mercial zoned land in west<br />
Brunswick, but relatively little interest in east Brunswick - including at the base property. People are being paid a lot<br />
of money to create “pipe dreams” about all the jobs that will be located at the base, but so far that hasn’t turned out<br />
to be the reality. I have wondered if possibly the traffic delays on Route 1 through Brunswick may be a contributing<br />
factor to employers preference for west Brunswick. Also I don’t see any need for this new base entrance. There used<br />
to be thousands of people working on the base and that was a problem at rush hour on Route 24, but now there don't<br />
seem to be any problems surrounding traffic access to the base. Instead of some base entrance what we really need is<br />
improvements to Route 1 through Brunswick, including making it a limited access highway. Chris Baker<br />

I certainly hope that any road improvements will include bicycle paths in as many parts of Brunswick as possible.<br />
We have noticed a big increase in interest in cycling as a mode of transportation along our road (the Durham Road),<br />
yet it is very dangerous with no paved path for bicycles. Including bike paths along our major arteries would be key<br />
to making this a bike-friendly town. Think big and think future! Thank you. Genie Wheelwright<br />
