Select Board approves Elm Street for town-meeting layout; continues Campanelli and Tabor hearings for further inspection
Summary
After confirming Elm Street is complete, the Uxbridge Select Board voted to recommend it for layout and acceptance at town meeting. The board continued public hearings on Campanelli Drive and Tabor Road to the May 5 meeting after residents and DPW reported outstanding infrared seams and repair work.
At its April 28 meeting the Select Board closed the public hearing on Elm Street and voted to recommend Elm Street to town meeting for layout and acceptance after staff confirmed receipt of required CAD files and inspections. The board took a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Earlier in the meeting, Select Board members and residents raised specific construction-quality concerns about Campanelli Drive, citing multiple seams that still need infrared repair and what one member described as “excavator tracks” in parts of the road. Resident Eli urged the board not to accept the road in its current condition, saying there were “19 spots that need to be infrared” and that several cuts spanned the roadway. Campanelli representative Russell Leon responded that crews will repair potholes and return to complete infrared work this week; he said a truck malfunction delayed work but that a crew is scheduled to finish the remaining items.
Given the outstanding items and photographic evidence submitted by a board member, the Select Board voted to continue the Campanelli Drive public hearing to the board’s May 5 meeting so DPW, Graves Engineering and Campanelli principals can perform a joint inspection and determine whether the work meets town specifications.
Tabor Road was handled similarly: the board was told that a contractor has been hired and payment documentation provided, but some infrared work remained outstanding. The Select Board agreed to continue the Tabor Road public hearing to May 5 to allow for corrective work and a subsequent inspection.
The board directed DPW and the town manager to coordinate on-site inspections with contractors and engineering staff this week and to report back at the May 5 meeting.
