One of the issues here is a shared use path needs to meet appropriate grades for Americans with Disabilities Act, so basically all these are very low -- low gradients to allow people of any ability to be able to get out and walk on them and enjoy them. MR. WEBB: Well, I do know that sound refracts; it doesn't go in a straight line. And as high as these barriers are, I have serious doubts as to how much impact they're really going to have on the sound. Okay. MR. PAVAO: Yes, sir. MR. POSNER: Thank you. My name is Bill Posner. I'm a member of the board of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition, it's Mass. Bike, and we will be submitting written comments with respect to the EADEIR. I'm also a member of a local cycling club, North Shore Cyclists. First of all, I would like to thank Mass. DOT for demonstrating its commitment to cycling and walking as well as its commitment to the Healthy Transportation Compact and the Green Dot policy. I'd also like to thank the Towns of Amesbury, Salisbury and the City of Newburyport for recognizing the economic and recreational benefits of cycling and walking as well as their support for the inclusion of ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

Our very brief comment is that we are very much in support of this project and we appreciate Mass. DOT's consistent support for cycling and walking. Thank you. MR. PAVAO: Thank you for your comments. Yes, sir. MR. KARP: Hi. Evan Karp from Newburyport. I live alongside the Pine Road, Ferry Road Bridge there. It was mentioned that the bridge is moving back to where it was in the seventies or something. I was just curious what that was, just curious how it affects my house. MR. BERTOULIS: The right of way that's out there today, it will work within the existing right of way. What's going to happen there, I have a slide which would show it, but basically, you know, the existing bridge today is on a radius, and what's going to happen first thing out there is that the traffic on the existing bridge is going to be restricted to a one-lane (inaudible) operated by signals and that will allow one half of the bridge to be demolished. That'll be the southern inside radius. That lane will ATM, Inc 339-674-9100
