Public Works Committee · Meeting of April 28, 2026
Fitchburg Public Works Committee voted unanimously to expand stop sign measures on Montrose Street. The committee approved an amended petition adding two "no parking here to corner" signs and stop signs at Klondike Avenue and Lawton Avenue intersections beyond the original Dartmouth Street request, based on DPW Commissioner Nick Erickson's Engineering Division recommendations. Separately, the committee voted unanimously to withdraw a $40,000 to $60,000 guardrail petition for 130 Lancaster Street, with Erickson suggesting the new Civil Engineer review alternative protections; the property owner can independently install protective measures in an area without heavy through traffic.
