Robert Smith, P.E.
McMahon was retained by the Town of Barnstable to design intersection and roadway improvement plans for Marstons Mills Village Center along the Cotuit Road (Route 149) corridor. The primary goal of the project was to develop a constructible concept for the Cotuit Road/Main Street/River Road skewed intersection, while implementing pedestrian, bicycle, and on-street parking improvements along Cotuit Road.
Using Chapter 90 funds, the project design included traffic calming elements, aimed at changing the street atmosphere and enhancing the Village Center. The recommended design included realignment of the subject intersection to a four-legged platform intersection, drainage/stormwater improvements, parking modifications including the provision of on-street parking, raised and midblock crosswalks, curb extensions, landscape/streetscape enhancements, pavement design, and sidewalk installation, including a boardwalk sidewalk at Mill Pond.
McMahon was responsible for preparing construction plans and contract documents. Throughout the project, McMahon conducted a public outreach process, which included public meetings and meetings with town officials and the local Village Association.
