Residents ask about cemetery fence replacement and Prospect Street water work
Summary
During public comment, residents asked whether Saint Mary's Cemetery fence will be replaced and when Prospect Street water work will begin; staff said cemetery fence is private (church responsibility) and Prospect water work is expected this summer with specifics to be published when available.
Several residents used the public-comment period to ask town officials about two local concerns: the replacement of the fence at Saint Mary's Cemetery and the timing and impacts of the Prospect Street water project.
A resident asked whether the fence removed at Saint Mary's would be replaced. The Chair responded that the fence is the church's responsibility and not town property; another resident reported they had spoken with Mary Jane Spalding and was told insurance work was underway and replacement is "in the works." On the Prospect Street water project, members and staff said the work is expected this summer but that exact start dates, lane closures, and duration are not finalized; staff promised to publish specifics when available.
The board encouraged continued coordination between residents and staff and confirmed that as soon as project specifics are available they will be posted to inform traffic and business impacts during construction.
