Commission hears question about trail closure north of parking lot; staff says Burlington crews making repairs
Summary
A commissioner raised concerns after seeing a chain-link fence closing a trail section north of a parking lot; staff said Burlington crews closed the area for tree work and repairs and used a portable chain-link fence for safety.
Commissioner David Fox asked about a large portable chain-link fence blocking a trail north of a parking lot. Bruce said crews in Burlington were conducting repairs and tree work, and that the fence was used to prevent unsafe access while work occurred.
Fox said the closure looked imposing and asked whether Farmington crews would have a similar approach or issue permits first; staff said contractors typically contact the town before work and that staff had been receiving calls to confirm permit needs when projects occur on or near town facilities.
No enforcement or permitting action was taken by the commission; the item was informational.
