Project Example: Shrewsbury Street Doyle Road Transportation Improvement Project, Town of Holden

The proposed project consists of improvements to approximately a 1.15-mile section of the Shrewsbury Street Corridor, including portions of Main Street, Holden Street, Chapel Street and Doyle Road. Proposed improvements include the reconstruction of the existing traffic signals at the intersections of Shrewsbury Street with Main Street, and Chapel and Holden Streets, as well as construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Shrewsbury Street with Mount View Drive and Doyle Road. The project is programmed in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program for Federal Fiscal Year 2023.

The project includes roadway widening and geometric improvements at the various intersections, along with traffic signal upgrades, safety improvements, and pedestrian and bicycle accommodations. The project also includes an 8-foot separated shared-use path that runs the full length of the project that will be a dedicated walking and bicycling path. Other enhancements include new storm drain improvements, granite curb, concrete sidewalks, and landscaping features. 

We brought Capital Strategic Solutions into the Shrewsbury Street Doyle Road Transportation Improvement Project to develop an outreach campaign with the purpose of educating the citizens about the project and the funding opportunity for the Town. CSS has been working diligently by our side, engaging community members in preparation for our fall town meeting. Their assistance with this endeavor has allowed us to focus on our next steps and our day-to-day operations,

Project Example: Phase II of the Five Corners Sewer Project, Town of Easton

The Five Corners Sewer Project Phase II includes installation of a sanitary sewer collection system with approximately 2,700 linear feet of 6-inch sewer force main; 11,100 linear feet of gravity sewer; 850 linear feet of low-pressure sewer, Foundry Street Pump Station, 6,000 linear feet of water main replacement for the Mulberry Brook and Beaver Brook Stream Crossings. The neighborhood’s reliance on individual wastewater septic systems has hindered growth within the area. The newly installed wastewater system will allow for the stimulation of economic growth and development, breathing new opportunities for undeveloped properties and making the overall environment more welcoming. An additional benefit of the project is that it will address failing or compromised septic systems reducing the risk of contaminating local groundwater supplies.

Capital Strategic Solutions (CSS) used a cost-effective mix of new technologies, social media, graphic design, and traditional communication tools, to ensure that project details and potential impacts were clearly disseminated for the Phase II of the Five Corner’s Sewer Improvement Project. The outreach services that CSS provided to the Town of Easton during the challenges of the construction, was invaluable to our community members.
