Commission on Disabilities asks for $45,000 for ADA sidewalk planning
Summary
Commission on Disabilities representative Chris Gaudet asked the Finance Committee for a $45,000 capital‑planning article to continue ADA sidewalk improvements and requested that the work be converted to a recurring omnibus line item when feasible.
Chris Gaudet, representing the Merrimac Commission on Disabilities, told the Finance Committee on Feb. 25 that the commission has a "$45k article for Capital Planning for continuing ADA sidewalk improvements." He asked that, "as always when feasible," the sidewalk work eventually become a recurring line item in the omnibus budget.
Gaudet framed the request as part of ongoing accessibility work rather than a one-time project. The committee did not record a formal vote on the article in the excerpted transcript; members asked for follow-up details and scheduled further departmental appearances at the March 11 meeting.
The $45,000 figure is the amount Gaudet specified for capital planning; committee members did not provide a decision on funding during the Feb. 25 meeting.
