PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVES
Representative Moakley has contacted MassDOT for details and a timeline on the planned ADA-compliant crosswalk near the West Falmouth Market.
Our President, Jim Gray, is spending a lot of time analyzing the need for sidewalk and crosswalk safety improvements.
A resident on Blair Lane recently reported that children were almost hit by a driver who failed to stop for a school bus.
We are disappointed to also have to report that the town's long term strategic plans appear to be for a combined North/West fire station and to simply maintain the West Falmouth station for the time being.
