It is hard to go through one’s day in Easton, either as a pedestrian or a motorist, and not have moments of curiosity, and, at times, irritation, about how the town makes decisions about infrastructure and traffic improvements. From wondering why downtown intersections can be difficult for walkers or why speed limits are so high or so low on a given street, the average resident builds up a ton of unanswered questions related to these aspects of city planning.
Given the Spy’s ongoing reconnaissance on foot in and around Easton, we were determined to get a few of these questions answered and was delighted that Rick Van Emburgh, the town’s engineer, who is charged with managing such matters , was willing to sit down recently to provide a few.
In our interview, Rick highlights a range of projects including Port Street planning, sidewalk improvements, intersection options. And given all of these interesting topics, we decided to extend our normal timeline to accommodate more than a few of these subjects.

I am amazed at the number of missing and disconnected sidewalls around town. It’s a no brainer Easton!!!
