Committee targets Orchard, Quest and a Robinson Hill section as near‑term projects
Summary
After reviewing condition notes and traffic counts, the committee agreed to seek updated bids for Orchard Road, Quest and a section of Robinson Hill and to reconvene with numbers before finalizing what the town can afford this year.
Committee members prioritized three projects they believe could be advanced this year if updated bids match budget expectations: Orchard Road (whole length), Quest (problem section near Jordan), and Robinson Hill (specific lower section). A committee member said, "We need an updated bid number" and urged the committee to get those figures before the next meeting so a short‑term program can be finalized.
Members discussed technical fixes for those roads, including localized grinding and shimming, use of reclaimed grindings, and a two‑layer binder/topcoat approach. One member noted past success: "We had good luck up on Orchard with reclaimed." The committee asked staff to request revised bids and return on Aug. 3 with estimates for those three projects.
