There is a debate on how to proceed: Is police-led data enough, or do we need professional engineers? To expedite things, the Board decided to bypass the standard Highway Safety Committee review and instead ask the DPW for a cost estimate for professional engineering management.

With the upcoming Henry Bridge closure set to increase congestion in the area, the timing of this decision is critical. The DPW is now tasked with providing those costs so the Board can decide how to move forward. #Goffstown #PublicSafety https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/select-board/2026-06-22/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 22nd Select Board meeting, the issue of traffic safety at the High Street/Elm/Main Street intersection took center stage following a recent accident involving a child. While the Police Chief noted that officers can provide data, the discussion turned to whether the town needs professional traffic engineers to make formal, safe recommendations. To avoid a lengthy Highway Safety Committee review process, the Board decided to move directly to requesting a cost estimate for professional traffic engineering management from the DPW. This decision comes at a high-stakes time, as the upcoming Henry Bridge closure is expected to increase traffic congestion in the immediate area. Additionally, the Board discussed the financial implications of the Medvill Cooperative's request for the town to act as the applicant for an $11 million CDBG grant to replace aging sewer and water infrastructure. Three public hearings are now scheduled for July 13th to discuss the application and the town's involvement. Residents are encouraged to attend these hearings to understand the scale of this project and the town's administrative role. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/select-board/2026-06-22/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
