Board presses utility restoration standards and hears update on paving and trash contract
Summary
Members urged stricter enforcement of utility-restoration and patching standards (DTE 98 22), sought coordination of gas/sewer/paving schedules for Main Street and Greenwood, praised recent Pittman/Grafton work, and were told the town's trash and recycling contract is out to bid.
Members raised concerns about subcontractor patchwork and asked staff to ensure utility restorations meet specifications. Joe (staff member) identified the applicable restoration specification (DTE 98 22) and said he would circulate the document for review; members asked staff to hold subcontractors to the standard to avoid long-lived temporary repairs that degrade road integrity.
The group also discussed paving coordination (Bellerose and Main Street sequencing) so that utility work does not require repeated re-milling, and members asked staff to consider adding bike lanes where road width permits. Elena (committee member) praised the Pittman/Grafton project for thorough curb ramps, sidewalks and paving and said delaying final paving through a winter settling period improved the result. Staff also told the board the town's trash, recycling and yard-waste contract is out for bids and they will report back when responses arrive.
