Select Board hears resident concerns about Church Street patching; DPW to monitor until planned paving in FY27
Summary
Residents raised concerns about settling and noise after a recent repave on Church Street; the town reported additional overlay work was done and that the full paving is scheduled for FY27 to allow settling and frost cycles to complete.
Residents and board members discussed ongoing issues with Church Street following recent water work and subsequent patching.
The town manager reported that the contractor returned to address unsatisfactory patching and that DPW staff (Butch and Mark) performed overlay work to smooth the area. Staff said they expect some settling following the repairs and prefer to wait through a winter freeze/thaw cycle before completing a full paving of the street, which is scheduled for the next paving cycle (FY27). The manager said the pavement section is currently an overlaid expansion joint roughly 60–80 feet long and that crews will monitor and make incremental repairs if settling continues.
Residents seeking a quicker fix or noise mitigation were invited to send specific questions by email; the board directed DPW staff to keep an eye on the section and to perform additional maintenance if conditions degrade before the larger paving project.
