Selectmen met with representatives from traffic engineering firm Howard Stein Hudson and landscape architects Halvorson Design, who are developing the landscape plan for the East Milton Square deck.
The primary goal of the project is to improve traffic and safety for motorists and pedestrians in East Milton Square while increasing bicycle ridership.
Halvorson Design’s plans for the deck includes a lawn covering much of the area, a pavilion for special events, and trees lining the perimeter. A section of Adams Street would serve as a paved pathway across the deck, but would be closed off to vehicular traffic.
