MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Tree Committee will host a public information meeting on the proposed road project planned for Main Street, Water Street, Beacon Street and Marion Road on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. in the Mattapoisett Fire Station meeting room.
The project to improve these streets with Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalks, stormwater filtration systems and to allow for the replacement of an aging gas line will require the removal of 28 trees — many of which must be removed to follow Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines that require sidewalks to have at least five feet of unobstructed space.
The 25% plans of the road design will be available for viewing at the meeting. Public participation will be welcome. For more information, join the Friends of Mattapoisett Trees Facebook group.
