Opening this road was in the original plan for nasb but has not been mentioned since. The road goes to or through the nasb golf course. Opening it for traffic will be simple and inexpensive act. Please reopen the road as soon as possible and please include it in your next report. please respond. Thanks. ELSA MARTZ Do NOT add to mailing list.

I own property at 113-115 Pleasant and have been attending the meetings. I support the use of Turner, Paul and other streets as option to reduce congestion. Two other thoughts for consideration.1.) No left turn onto River Road. Instead with signage direct traffic to turn right onto Lombard, right onto Turner, right onto Webster thus bringing cars back to the existing light. 2.)Brunswick Planning spent a lot of time on the new Tim Horton and Dunkin Donuts with much discussion on no left turns. They prohibited no lefts but what got built allows cars to circumvent the intent.

If you do consider a traffic circle at the north end of the Mill St./Maine intersection, has thought been given to the additional amount of traffic that will have to make the left turn onto Mill from Pleasant I do not know what the traffic counts are that are now using Pleasant & Maine to get to Topsham but would think it would be quite high. Also I would recommend prohibiting left turns from Mill onto the "Black Bridge" and left turns onto Mill From the "Black Bridge". I still feel that Mill St. needs to be widened to 4 lanes in ant event and the intersection be modified to allow two lanes of traffic to turn left onto Mill from Pleasant. Why do you show the possible rail connection to the nasb right in line with the end on the runways I like your concept of roundabouts along Pleasant St. How do this work with trailor trucks Your presentation tonight was excellent.

From: cwiercinski@sitelinespa.com Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2010 11:40 AM To: cmorris@morriscomm.net; Kennedy, Marty; VHB_Webmaster Subject: Brunswick Naval Air Station website form submittal Good Morning Marty.... I enjoyed your presentation on Tuesday night and offer the following comments for your consideration. As a local Civil design consultant over the last 20 years, we have become particularly familiar with the traffic conditions on Pleasant Street. We have been involved in many of the newer projects and obtained approvals at the Planning Board with particular concern on the impact and safety of left hand turns. I see three key areas to be addressed and recognize, as you pointed out, that these areas and others impact each other and need to be considered together. The intersection of Stanwood, Pleasant and Mill. The adjacent properties are underutilized and would be converted to better use in a better economy. This is anticipated. I don't think a round-about would work there but I may be wrong. I would suggest that Stanwood be widened to 2 lanes outbound to improve the left turn capacity. Mill Street Southbound should be improved to be free flowing. I would investigate the practicality of returning Pleasant Street to 2-way eastward to St John's Church. I think this would remove many left turns that now pass through the NW neighborhood to get to their desired destination. As part of this intersection upgrade, the concept of the Turner/Paul bypass is obvious. It can be built in stages as property owners support. In addition to providing access to the area, it will facilitate increased property values and development in a mixed use zone bounded by the railroad tracks. Maine, Mill and Mason Intersection. I liked the idea of the round-about on the Maine Street bridge but assume that the property impact will render this idea too expensive. I do believe that the left hand turns to Maine Street be reinstituted if at all possible. Church Road/Pleasant Street intersection and outer Pleasant Street... I have no expertise in the capacity of a round-about but support the idea at Church to facilitate the left turning traffic for local businesses. I also liked your idea of a transition round-about westerly to calm traffic and reduce highway speeds. I would expect that this would be larger in size and perhaps address the S-curve switchback to old Route 1/Freeport Road. Good luck in your analysis and I will look forward to your progress.

Accordingly, the success of implementation will be gauged by the lowest level of success of any single strategy. 3) the idea of limiting/removing access to Rt. 196/Coastal Connector is fabulous and gives us the opportunity to un-do all the wrongs there in the number of controlled intersections. 3) Even if all the strategies are implemented successfully, the overall solution may not work well unless other modes are major players, especially rail and mass transit (bus and rail) as well as bicycle and pedestrian. 4) Even if all the above are successful, a major new infrastructure project may be necessary so as to lower vehicles-per-day usage over existing routes. 5) Providing greater mobility over existing routes while maintaining a pleasant, pedestrian-friendly, quiet ambience will be challenging and will require all the latest design tricks and tools. I have great concern about having my community turned into a transportation hub with all the attendant blight, noise and reduced quality of life. Thank you. Keep up the good work. -Will William Van Twisk Email sent by VHB QuickMail.NET From: Tina Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 9:11 PM To: cmorris@morriscomm.net; Kennedy, Marty; VHB_Webmaster Subject: Brunswick Naval Air Station website form submittal 10
