Principal regional planner Kyle Pimental and senior transportation planner Colin Lentz, attended a meeting of the Dover Planning Board on Tuesday, Jun. 22 to present recommended, updates to the City’s complete streets policy.
This update to Dover's "Complete Streets & Traffic Calming Guidelines" was completed with grant funding from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Coastal Program Resilience Planning Program. Overall, the grant allowed the city to partner with SRPC to implement several actions identified in the City’s 2018 Climate Adaptation Master Plan. Prior to the complete streets policy update, SRPC worked with the City to complete a Street Tree Plan. For the final phase of this project, SRPC and Dover will work together on the City’s stormwater design.
The new iteration of Dover's "Complete Streets & Traffic Calming Guidelines" was endorsed by the City's planning board on Jun. 22, with a note of encouragement for city staff to utilize it during the development of the capital improvements program."
The updated guidelines highlight additional benefits of complete streets, like environmental protection and stormwater management, and include metrics and measures to track trends, and prioritize future projects. This was included to help the City track progress and will prove useful for future decision-making.
