[MassHistPres] Info. TIP funded roadwork/historic preservation impacts

[sally milne]

Hello
   Our grass roots  group has been working since 2016 to help preserve Captains’ Row in West Harwich a contiguous 3/4 of a mile on old Main st, now rt. 28 . Over 24+ Sea Captains homes line the street and were accepted by Mass Historic to proceed towards National Register status. Funding that has not happened yet. There are already two structures within the boundary that are already individually listed.  Mass Dot using TIP funds will install 5.5 ft sidewalks both sides, 5 ft bike lanes both sides and granite berms. We are attempting for some enhancements and adjustments but it’s not easy, they are at 25 percent design review.  They will install a limited reach  with brick sidewalk and a few lampposts to tie in with Dennisport, but the heart of the Historic neighborhood continues without those enhancements and  essentially provides  no continuity.  Has anyone had experiences such as this ,and any suggestions?

Thanks
Sally Urbano
