Select Board asks staff to get a quote to pave Pleasant Street and to hot-patch town roads
Summary
After residents raised concerns about holes and deteriorated pavement on Pleasant Street, the board directed staff to obtain a paving quote and asked the town crew to pick up hot-patch material to fill potholes across town, including the town-office driveway.
The Select Board instructed staff to obtain a contractor quote to mill and pave Pleasant Street and also directed the town crew to obtain hot-patch to address potholes around town.
A resident had asked when Pleasant Street might be scheduled for paving and noted large, worsening potholes near the underpass. Board members said the original plan called for sewer work before paving, and acknowledged that the project’s eligibility for state paving grants depends on road classification. Because some stretches are short, staff recommended starting with hot-patch repairs while gathering contractor quotes for a full paving job. One board member moved to obtain a paving quote for Pleasant Street and to instruct the town crew to buy hot-patch and address potholes (including the town-office driveway); the motion passed by voice vote.
The board discussed capital-planning options and suggested the roads committee be involved in prioritizing future projects. Staff will return with a contractor estimate and a prioritized list of road repairs.
