Summary

A council member said work on the water plant will require Park Street to be closed "for a period of 2 years, more or less," and urged proactive outreach to the elementary school and parents about changes to drop-off and pick-up routes.

A council member raised upcoming construction tied to the water plant and said equipment movement was expected to begin this week, though construction proper would start later. "Part of Park Street will be shut down for a period of 2 years, more or less," the member said, and asked whether the town had engaged the elementary school about altered drop-off routes and parent communications.

Other council members said a letter had already been sent to school staff and that the town should provide temporary signage and early notice to parents. The Chair said she would discuss the issue with Bert and that staff would coordinate communications; no formal vote or timeline beyond the two-year estimate was adopted at the meeting.
