Resident asks to use town’s reclaimed pavers for Allen Avenue sidewalk; board tables request
Summary
A resident requested permission to use town-stockpiled reclaimed pavers to repair a slippery, sunken portion of the Allen Avenue sidewalk; the board discussed policy, plowing and safety, and tabled the item to the next meeting.
A resident (represented in the meeting by the Chair speaking as the property fronting on Allen Avenue) requested permission to take reclaimed town pavers from the municipal stockpile to reset and repair about 40 feet of sidewalk in front of his house, offering to provide labor and materials but requesting the town’s reclaimed pavers to complete the work.
Board members discussed safety and maintenance implications — pavers can be slippery and complicate plowing — and whether past policy allowed such reuse. Given two board members absent and the potential conflict of interest noted by one member, the board elected to table the request for two weeks to bring it back for a formal vote after policy review.
