Summary
Town Planner Aaron DeNamur presented a preliminary Falls Road design funded by a $40,000 gift from the O’Brien brothers proposing brick sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping and coordinated water‑main work; a project working group and RFP for design services were announced.
Aaron DeNamur, Town Planner, presented the preliminary Falls Road design that would remake the corridor from Church Street to the Harbor Road intersection using an initial $40,000 gift from the O’Brien brothers.
DeNamur said the proposal emphasizes walkable spaces and aesthetics — including brick‑paved sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping — with water main improvements coordinated to reduce future disruption. He told the committee he and Town Manager Matt Lawless will assemble a project working group of committee members and community volunteers and begin drafting a request for proposals for design services. DeNamur also noted the project may be able to secure additional funding in the next budget cycle.
