Resident urges repaving of Lower Dutch Hill Road; highway superintendent eyes grants
Summary
A resident told the Milford Town Board that Lower Dutch Hill Road "is in bad shape and needs to be repaved." Highway Superintendent Billy Sutphin said he is watching for grants but noted limited funding and potential insurance implications from a New York State 18-foot minimum road width requirement.
At the open-floor public comment period, resident Peter Carlisle voiced concern about the condition of Lower Dutch Hill Road, saying "it is in bad shape and needs to be repaved." The comment prompted a response from Highway Superintendent Billy Sutphin and a brief discussion about repair options and funding constraints.
Sutphin said he is "watching for grants to fix the roads" but warned "there is not a lot of money out there." He also noted a possible insurance impact from a New York State 18-foot minimum road width requirement and said he plans to meet with the town's insurance agent to assess implications. The town did not record a timeline or estimate cost for repaving Lower Dutch Hill Road in the meeting record.
