Sidewalk committee prioritizes Forest Avenue paving, rejects boardwalk plan
Sidewalk Committee · Meeting of August 19, 2026
Cohasset sidewalk committee prioritizes Forest Avenue paving and rejects proposed boardwalk expansion. Chair Justin Pimpare's committee outlined the FY2027 paving plan with Forest Avenue as the priority project, plus railroad-track work on North Main Street, with the Department of Public Works coordinating the schedule with schools to manage school-bus impacts. The committee rejected a boardwalk proposal connecting Forest Avenue, North Main Street, and King Street to the train station, citing severe financial and permitting constraints and jurisdictional concerns under the Conservation Commission's authority.
Preliminary surveys for Pleasant Street and Beechwood are in progress through Morse Engineering; the Jerusalem Road survey has been postponed to next year.
