If/When the City implements a reconstruction of Wing Point Way, it would be a unique opportunity to evaluate the feasibility during the planning phase to incorporate some/all of the following and the project could become a MODEL reconstruction:
1. Capitalize on the pedestrian aspects/potential of adjacent Hawley Cove Park (i.e. building a boardwalk/trail from the existing boardwalk to Hawley Avenue to enhance pedestrian safety to/from the ferry),
2. Take the opportunity to improve the two culverts that exist under Wing Point Way to benefit the park and shoreline habitat by enlarging the understreet pipe,
3. Design impervious surface drainage to minimize stormwater runoff (“streetscapes” technology employed for this project much like designs considered for the downtown street reconstruction),
4. Leverage the close vicinity of the sewer and investigate the feasibility of incorporating the purple pipe/recycle water technology. This may be an opportune time while the street is dug up!
5. Establish safe traffic flow solutions for the anticipated developments (Capstone’s application does not satisfactorily address the egress onto Wing Point Way).
6. Ensure non-motorized characteristics adequately meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians
These suggestions come from many of our neighbors. Any other suggestions or comments are very welcome!
