  • First Public Informational Meeting
    MassDOT Cape Cod Canal Area Transportation Study Cape Cod Canal Area Transportation Study RE: First Public Informational Meeting Date and Time: January 15, 2015, 7:00 – 9:00 PM Location: Admirals Hall, Massachusetts Maritime Academy Campus, Buzzards Bay, Bourne Attendees: [Sign-in sheets with attendees names is attached] Meeting Notes: The MassDOT Project Manager, Ethan Britland, welcomed the attendees to the first public meeting of the Cape Cod Canal Transportation Study. Mr. Britland introduced members of the study team, including Ed Hollingshead, and Bill Reed and Michael Paiewonsky of FST, Michael Walsh a project manager with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Ken Buckland of The Cecil Group, and Diane Madden from MassDOT Environmental. Mr. Britland provided an overview of the study with a slide show (attached) noting the age of the canal bridges, and probable decades of future delays from increasing maintenance requirements as the impetus for the study. The study is in its earliest stages and will lead to an environmental impact analysis. He noted that the bridges and much of the canalside property are under federal ownership and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The study area was shown (see attached slide show). Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) described the Corps’ process for deciding whether the Corps continues maintaining or replacing bridges. He noted that the Corps is responsible for providing three bridges over the canal, two highway bridges and one railroad bridge. He informed the public that the Corps has not begun their study, but that the Corps is seeking funding to start their study.
