Mapping crashes with people walking and biking throughout Hanover helps us identify problem areas.
SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGNS
The Lyme Rd corridor is well-used by people walking and biking. HBW has identified safety concerns along Lyme Rd, between Park and Reservoir, particularly with regards to bicycling and bicycle markings, speed, and crossings. The northbound bike lane was widened!
SUCCESS!
The Lyme Road segment from Reservoir Road to Park Street was updated as part of Hanover's Complete Streets policy to include a wider northbound bike land, and clearing street markings prior to the Bike Lane Ends by the roundabout.
Can Oak Hill parking lot design increase access for people walking and bicycling?
SUCCESS!
Friends of Oak Hill and Dartmouth representatives want Oak Hill to be accessible to all users. They have added a 5 ft walking path to connect from the street to the Warming Hut.
HBW recommends maximizing green space, minimizing asphalt, safe streets for all and reducing car dependency.

Dartmouth reduced the size of the parking lot considerably, reducing the impermeable surface area, and reliance on cars for transportation.
