The USACE completes a MRER whenever infrastructure maintenance construction costs are expected to exceed $20 million and take more than two years of construction to complete. The MRER is a four-part evaluation: a structural engineering risk and reliability analysis of the current structures, cost engineering, economic analysis, and environmental evaluation of all feasible alternatives. The MRER is intended only as a means of determining the likely future course of action relative to rehabilitation or replacement. While conceptual plans were developed in order to facilitate the analysis no final determination has been made as to the final location or type of any new Canal crossings. Those would be determined in the next phase of the study and design effort.

  • Local Comprehensive Plan
    Town of Eastham Local Comprehensive Plan Third Edition 2010 – DRAFT Board of Selectmen Linda Burt Aimee Eckman Carol F. Martin – Vice Chair Martin McDonald – Chair David W. Schropfer – Clerk Town Administrator Sheila Vanderhoef Town Planner Sarah Raposa Third Edition – 2010 Page ii INTRODUCTION In 1990, the Cape Cod Commission was established and charged with the preparation and implementation of a regional land use policy plan. In 1991, the Commission adopted the Regional Policy Plan which has since . The original Plan has been updated effective ; the newest version is January 16, 2009 as amended June 18, 2010. The Plan was designed to help local planning committees identify important goals and policies for their towns, and to help fund and develop established guidelines for the development of local comprehensive plans. Eastham is one of fifteen (15) towns on Cape Cod (Barnstable County). The boundaries of the Town are dominated by its coastlines (the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Cape Cod Bay to the west), both approximately four and one-half (4.5) miles in length, and by the Towns of Wellfleet to the north and Orleans to the south. Eastham lies at the base of the outer arm of Cape Cod, ninety-two (92) miles from both Boston and Providence, R. I. The Town has approximately fourteen and one-quarter (14 ¼) square miles of upland (9,120 acres) of which nearly one-third (3,000 acres) is within the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Eastham has the distinction of being the gateway to the National Park Service Seashore.

  • PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service
    TPRG PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service Prepared for Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority by the Transportation Planning and Resource Group, March 2012 (_) 1 TPRG ( 1. Project: Cape Cod Seasonal Train Service The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) engaged the Transportation Planning and Resource Group (TPRG) to explore if and how seasonal passenger rail service (essentially during summer weekends) could be reintroduced to provide a rail connection to Hyannis. Cape Cod suffers from extreme road and bridge congestion due, in part, from the need for most visitors to use the existing two roadway bridges (Sagamore and Bourne). Summer traffic on the bridges almost doubles and has increased significantly over the years. This extensive congestion is not good for either Cape Cod's economy (with a significant focus on tourism) or the air quality. At the same time, there is a vastly improved local public transportation network on Cape Cod. The purpose of this initiative is determine if and how to use the existing railroad right-of­ way (owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)) to encourage those who are Cape-bound to comfortably, reliably and efficiently come to Cape Cod on the train rather than in an ( automobile. The target service would be weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day(Boston to Hyannis Friday afternoons/evenings with return Sunday afternoons and Saturday round trip service). The initial study plan was to focus on the steps necessary to bring back rail service originating in Boston with a target date of summer 2012.

    Cape Cod Canal Transportation Study RE: Fourth Public Information Meeting Date and Time: February 13, 2019, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Location: Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Admiral’s Hall, 101 Academy Drive, Buzzards Bay Attendees: See end of document Meeting Notes Introduction Ethan Britland, MassDOT Project Manager, welcomed people to the Cape Cod Canal Transportation Study Public Information Meeting. He reviewed the agenda for the meeting and offered elected officials, or their representatives in attendance, the opportunity to provide some opening remarks. Judith Froman, from the Bourne Select Board, noted the importance of public participation and feedback in study’s process and thanked people for their involvement. Goals and Objectives Mr. Britland then began the presentation with a review the purpose of the study and noted that this study is a conceptual planning study and is not a project. The study’s process has had a lot of interaction with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), who are conducting their own study of the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges (known as a Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Report (MRER)). The MassDOT planning study includes the development and analysis of multimodal transportation improvement alternatives for roadways, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and will result in a final report with a plan of recommended transportation improvements. Mr. Britland stated the goals of the study are to improve transportation mobility and accessibility in the Cape Cod Canal Area and to provide reliable year-round connectivity over the Canal and between the Sagamore and Bourne Bridges. The study’s objectives for how to achieve the goals are to improve multimodal connectivity and mobility levels across the Canal at the same time avoiding degrading quality of life for Cape Cod residents and workers, ensure that crossing the canal does not become a barrier to intra-community travel for Bourne and Sandwich, and help maintain public safety across the canal in the event of an evacuation.
