The Town of Acton is embarking on a targeted Complete Streets Study for Main Street (Route 27) within South Acton Village. The project aims to address several key issues, including the poor condition of sidewalk, the need for safer pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, and the challenges poised by a series of closely spaced intersections that connect to the South Acton commuter rail station, the Assabet River Rail Trail (ARRT), and local businesses.
Conceptual street improvements will be developed to encourage lower vehicular speeds, increase safety and accessibility for vulnerable roadway users (pedestrians and cyclists), enhance local transit stops, and contribute to the identity and sense of place in South Acton through new and improved sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, benches, and landscaping to promote activity that supports the businesses along the corridor.
