Long Lake board hears paving schedule, bench request and Raquette Lake golf-cart inquiry
Summary
Highway Superintendent Michael Lamphear told the board the paving company plans to be in Hamilton County by Aug. 11 and Long Lake within one to two weeks; council members also asked about benches on the spillway and whether golf carts could be legalized on Raquette Lake roads pending county approval and resident input.
During council comments, Councilman Nathan S. Hosley asked when Rice Road would be paved. Highway Superintendent Michael Lamphear said, "the paving company plans to be in Hamilton County by August 11th," and that they should reach Long Lake within a week or two thereafter. No firm start date was set at the meeting.
Council members also raised several community requests: placing chairs or benches at the spillway, praise for the July 4 celebration and music-by-the-lake events, and a request that State DOT remove larger brush when mowing state road shoulders. Councilman Mark A. Bird reported that Raquette Lake residents have asked the town to legalize the use of golf carts and side-by-sides on town roads there; Supervisor Clay J. Arsenault said the town would need county approval and resident feedback and said he would "look into it." The board did not take formal action on any of these items at the July 30 meeting.
Residents seeking specifics about paving schedules, bench placement or golf-cart rules should expect follow-up from highway staff and the supervisor's office, according to the minutes.
