Residents ask about widening and tailings; officials say 20‑foot width planned, tailings likely reused
Summary
At the hearing residents asked whether the reconstruction would widen Main Street and whether excavation tailings could be placed behind the fire station; the mayor said the plan is for a 20‑foot roadway (about a 2‑foot widening) and that tailings would probably be reused on other roads rather than stored behind the fire station.
A resident asked whether the reconstruction would widen Main Street. The mayor said the plan is to match the 20-foot width used to the south and that the project will widen the roadway by about two feet so vehicles can pass without driving off the road: "We're planning on having it go 20 feet like it is going south on Main Street... We've we've widened it about 2 feet."
When asked whether tailings could be placed behind the fire station, the mayor said that is probably not possible and suggested the material could be reused on another roadway the town plans to tear up rather than hauled away: "They're not gonna haul them away." The exchange focused on practical handling of construction materials and on maintaining passability during and after construction.
