Pedestrian Walkway Woods Hole Road

Pedestrian Walkway Woods Hole Road

The Issue

We request a pedestrian walkway and or sidewalk along Woods Hole State Road between Falmouth and Woods Hole.

(donations do not go to cause- they go to Change.org)

In some sections there is no ability to step off the roadway. This is extremely dangerous due to the increased traffic over the years, including large freight trucks for the Steamship Authority, buses and seasonal population increase from 30-40,000- 100-150,000 people. (Census)

 

A walking path or sidewalk will allow pedestrians to access Falmouth without driving, will decrease the dangerous blind curves in roadway by enhancing visibility and allow safer traffic flow from residential side streets. There is no access to bike path, and a sidewalk will allow this as well.

 

With no shoulder or buffer in many areas on this 2-lane state highway (which is the main artery for all traffic to the islands) a safer solution is necessary. The road has changed over time and a pedestrian walkway is long overdue.
