Lincoln highway supervisor reports culvert shortfall and road work priorities; Selectboard discusses truck restrictions
Summary
Highway Supervisor Joshua Martell told the Selectboard crews replaced culverts and performed ditching, said '360 ft of culverts are needed' and noted the $12,500 culvert budget is spent; the board discussed truck restrictions on Forge Hill Road and moving to a clothing allowance for highway uniforms.
Highway Supervisor Joshua Martell reported at the May 19 meeting that the crew has replaced a culvert on West Hill Road, completed ditching on Atkins Road and reopened Lincoln Gap Road for the season. He told the board that '360 ft of culverts are needed' for replacements on town roads and that the $12,500 culvert budget has been spent; Trish Waugh noted that the town expects $23,000 in FY27 Grants-in-Aid funds that could help cover needs.
Board members discussed operational items including expedited deployment of a mobile radar speed unit (Trish said the unit's SD data card 'did not record data' and is empty), separating large and small stone at the town garage for better road repairs, and a possible Selectboard ordinance to restrict through truck traffic on Forge Hill Road. Josh said he would consult the forester involved with a logging permit that will allow logging trucks on the road before actions are finalized.
