  • Forecast future conditions based on both baseline growth and anticipated development
  • Identify deficiencies, and work with stakeholders (Town and MassDOT) on improvement opportunities
  • Prepare Final Report detailing findings from Study and recommendations
  • Traffic data collection (volumes, speeds, and vehicle classification) from Route 139 and side streets, and peak hour turning movement counts at intersections
  • Existing morning and afternoon Level of Service (measure of delay) analysis at intersections
  • Calculation of existing crash rates (crashes per million entering vehicles), Crash Data 2017 through 2019
