Milton U.S. 7 Corridor

The HIA proposed the reconfiguration of the Bartless, Legion, and West Milton Road intersections to reduce broadside crashes and improve walkability, physical activity, and access to services in the areas. Specifically, the HIA recommended that a roundabout be constructed at Legion Road and that a two-lane bridge with no pedestrian or bike accommodation be converted into a one-lane bridge with a traffic signal. The HIA also suggested that streetscape enhancements and more pedestrian accommodations be put in place at the intersection of Route 7 and Main Street. This HIA has not had its intended outcome, as the Regional Planning Commission has fewer community meeting attendees than expected as of September 2016. However, a strategy to engage hundreds of community members is underway.
