Project Background
At the request of the towns of Westport & Dartmouth, the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD) studied the Route 6 corridor based on safety concerns expressed by community officials, residents, and from Massachusetts state representatives. This study examined the current traffic conditions, intersection operations, bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation facilities, land uses, and overall safety of the Route 6 corridor from the Fall River city line (Westport) to the intersection of Cross Road (Dartmouth). In addition, the study will include potential future improvements for the corridor based on data analyses, stakeholder input, and comments or suggestions provided by the public.
