West Falmouth Transportation Safety
After the August 2022 Annual Meeting of the West Falmouth Village Association (WFVA), the WFVA Board formed a Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Committee (referred to as “committee”) to solicit traffic and pedestrian concerns from West Falmouth residents. This committee, comprised of six Board Members and
six non-Board members, has been charged with advocating for traffic and pedestrian safety improvements
to be made by the Town of Falmouth and the State of Massachusetts, as applicable. Committee members
conducted a safety survey asking respondents about their areas of concern in the Village of West Falmouth.
