Because of this, traffic will be reduced to one lane of travel on First Street (U.S. Route 7) and North Street between Burbank Street and Abbott Street from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday through at least May 6.
Diver and Boyle agreed that Pittsfield should pay at least half the cost of the project because it benefits the city just as much as Dalton, if not more if there would only be sidewalks on the Pittsfield side.
The Cook Street park began construction last week, a public information session on the reconstruction of Park Street is set for Wednesday at 5:30 at Town Hall and the town is participating in a regional digital equity planning process with its first meeting in October.
The town hopes to overhaul Howland Avenue with an estimated $4.3 million to $6.5 million construction project that would shrink the road to two lanes, create a sidewalk and add a shared-use path for pedestrians and bicycles.
Joseph Diver, Select Board chairman and Dalton representative to the Transportation Advisory Committee, informed the board of the project's new placement on the list at Monday night's meeting.
