Summary
DPW Director Craig Hale warned the Pleasant Street retaining wall is deteriorating and provided a materials-only estimate of roughly $400,000 (not including design), telling the board the structure "crumbles very easily" and will worsen if not addressed.
DPW Director Craig Hale told the Select Board that the Pleasant Street retaining wall is in poor condition and will continue to deteriorate without intervention. Hale provided a materials-only estimate of about $400,000 and cautioned that the figure does not include design, permitting, or other project costs.
Hale said the wall “crumbles very easily and will keep getting worse,” and urged the board to prioritize planning and funding if the structure is to be stabilized. The board discussed scope and potential timing; staff did not present a final design or schedule and will return with more detailed estimates and options for funding in a future meeting.
