To the Editor
December 4, 6:30 pm at ORR is the time and place for a public hearing about the Main Street Water Street DoT project. We are at a very important milestone in a very lengthy process. It’s too bad a road reconstruction committee was not formed to help the Town work through details. Staying engaged as stewards of our Town roads is as important as being stewards of tax dollars. Please go. Please show your concern for and commitment to a plan that includes traffic calming and shade trees.
It will also be good to hear and see more about the plans for the culvert near the beach parking lot, utility upgrades, boat hauling, and all the future costs (including construction phasing) incurred by the Town to see this through to the end.
I hope there will be a large turnout because, in addition to resources and engineering knowledge, good stewardship requires resident involvement and common sense.
