Council: Comcast contractor will repair marked road shoulders after poor installation work
Summary
Council members said Comcast's contractor left soft shoulders and sinkholes in neighborhood streets; the company responded to town notices and crews will return to repair marked areas under town supervision.
At the March 3 meeting council members raised concerns about damage to road shoulders from recent Comcast fiber-optic installation work.
Chair (S2) reported that the primary contractor and subcontractors did not adequately protect the roadway shoulders during installation, leaving soft spots and markings that the town identified by riding the neighborhood. S2 said the town sent formal notices to the contractor (described in discussion as the prime contractor overseeing subcontractors), and the contractor responded quickly, agreeing to return and repair the damaged shoulders over the next several days depending on weather.
S2 said town public-works staff (Derek, referenced in discussion) will monitor and supervise the contractor’s shoulder repairs. A public commenter (S5/Sasha) had asked earlier about red street markings near her house; S2 confirmed that those markings were related to the Comcast work and would be addressed under agenda item 8.
No formal council action was recorded beyond directing staff to supervise repairs and continue town oversight.
