Quick context to catch up fast.
The Main Street project is nearing the end of planning, with a hybrid concept that adds bicycle accommodations while keeping the current parking layout as closely as possible; the Select Board is expected to decide how to proceed in June. The committee also reviewed a proposed Route 135 shared-use path, where traffic reaches nearly 17,000 vehicles per day and lanes may offer 2–3 feet for path space through a road diet.

No final Main Street design was approved at this meeting. The current concept removes reverse-angle parking because of public feedback and snow-removal concerns, restores head-in angle parking, and will be presented with public feedback to the Select Board. The committee also discussed ways to improve walking and bicycling safety along Route 135, including a separated path, safer crossings, bus-stop amenities, and possible connections near Fisk Pond and the West Natick station.
