Sudbury Centre Improvement Advisory Committee

It is the intention of the Selectmen in creating this Committee to provide a mechanism for the Board to be advised on plans to upgrade/restore/improve the functionality of the historic town centre. The Sudbury Centre Improvement Advisory Committee (SCIAC) will make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. While the Committee will not have the power to commit town resources or approve projects, it is the Selectmen’s intention to support reasonable actions and recommendations of the Committee that are harmonious with any approved plans for the town centre and the published goals of the Board of Selectmen, and to the extent that Town Bylaws, Town Meeting action, and budgetary limits apply. To that end, and in furtherance of the goals of the Board of Selectmen, the Sudbury Centre Improvement Advisory Committee will work closely with all relevant Town boards, committees and departments which will, to the extent feasible, identify and recommend to the Town Manager available Town resources to support the goals of assessing the condition of the town centre, including all infrastructure, roadways, utilities, pedestrian improvements, historical components, landscaping, landscape architecture and any other physical features found in the town centre area, in order to increase the safety of the intersection of Concord Road and Old Sudbury/Hudson Road, and to enhance opportunities for recreational and cultural use as appropriate, while preserving the historical character of the area.

New Town Center Plans to be Reviewed

The Sudbury Board of Selectmen will hold a public meeting to discuss two new designs for the Town Center intersection at their meeting on June 1, 2010, 8:30 pm at Town Hall.

The new plans, designed by the engineering firm Traffic Solutions, attempt to address issues that arose during review of alternatives last year, and benefit from additional survey work that was undertaken in an interim phase of the project. Interested residents are invited to provide feedback to the Selectmen on the plans. 

Sudbury Center Alt 2 proposes a similar configuration as existing, with better east/west and north/south alignment, new lights with left turn lanes, and increased pedestrian opportunities.

Sudbury Center Alt 4 proposes 2 new intersections to move traffic through the center, reconfigures the town common and creates new open space opportunities.

Any questions in advance of the meeting can be directed to Jody Kablack, Director of Planning and Community Development, at kablackj@sudbury.ma.us, or by calling 978-639-3387.
