$4.2-Million in TIP Funding for Goldsmith Street. On June 26, 2008, the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)'s Transportation Planning and Programming Committee formally adopted amendments to the Federal Fiscal Year 2008 TIP (Transportation Improvement Plan) which includes $4.2-million for Goldsmith Street, Littleton. The Committee had given initial approval at its meeting on May 22, 2008, which then triggered a required 30-day public comment period. With the action on June 26th, that funding is officially in place. The project consists of improvements to Goldsmith Street from the intersection with Route 2A/110 to the intersection with Shaker Lane, a distance of approximately 1.45 miles. Sidewalk and landscaping improvements will also be provided. The total project cost is $5.2-million, of which $1-million will be paid by the Town through the funds unanimously approved by the May 5, 2008 Special Town Meeting. The project would be bid by the Massachusetts Highway Department in September 2008, with a projected project start in the Spring of 2009. Read the Littleton Independent story. Roadway Improvement Plan. To address the condition of local roads in Littleton, the Board of Selectmen voted on March 10, 2008 to support an $8-million roadway improvement plan, which would be funded inside the property tax levy limit, without any overrides of Proposition 2 1/2. The funding plan includes use of some $500,000 per year in operating budget monies, and an estimated $260,000 in Chapter 90 highway funds from the State. May 5, 2008 Town Meeting voters approved initial borrowing of $1-million for this project. Another $1-million in borrowing will be requested in 2013, and a final $800,000 in FY 2018. The Town will also continue to pursue additional state funding to help offset the local cost of this project. This plan does not involve any use of cell tower revenues, which prior town meetings have designated for conservation land purposes. See the detailed spreadsheet with financing assumptions.
