Candidate stresses prioritization for road repairs and experience with paving programs
Summary
Greenlaw told the board that prioritization, condition-based scheduling and attention to potholes are critical. He referenced experience with state highway maintenance contracts and night-time operations on major bridge and deck repairs.
Greenlaw told the panel that prioritizing road work based on condition and traffic volumes is central to how a public works board should set its agenda. He noted the town's use of paving-program software and said it helps determine what should be milled, paved or crack-sealed next.
On day-to-day visibility, Greenlaw emphasized addressing local pavement problems. "Fixing the potholes," he said when asked about resident priorities. He also cited previous contracts that included weekend and night operations on state highway bridges and rapid repair timelines as relevant experience for managing local projects.
The discussion connected operational tools (software scheduling) with political priorities (visible road condition) that boards typically balance in budget and capital planning.
