When Will the Construction Be Done on Main Street?

You have all been asking. The board asked, too.

 

The Downtown Construction Project, while upon completion will bring a more easily navigated, slicker, center area to town, has certainly slowed traffic and caused some gridlock. People who frequently travel through want to know, "When will it officially be completed?"

Dawn Rand, selectmen, asked the same thing during a board meeting this week.

"Most of the inconventient work will occur and be taken care of through the fall," said Town Administrator John Coderre, "but there will be some final work in the spring."

There you have it. Completion of the project is planned for spring of 2013.

The most recent update from the town can be found here.

Sorry, I live at 38 main
I still have to drive in a ditch to elter and exit my drive way
theres been times my car scrapes the ground entering and exiting my driveway
Week of Aug. 20: Gravel and grading for several sidewalk locations will be completed this week - where? I see no cement anywhere

Week of Sept. 3: Installation of the concrete for the sidewalks, adjustment of castings for utility structures and cold planning - I dont see this happening .

As a matter of fact, I seem to be the lucky one to have a 6' opening between barrels to enter and exit my drive way.
All the new stone they put down looks lovely, why is the 6' or so next to my driveway the only area not filled in with cement?
I my area was ripped up way before some of these others, yet, Im the last to get fixed?
Get real this schedule is so far off and total bs.

If you noticed, it says "as of Aug 15" at the top of the article (the one that is linked to). So yeah, clearly, they're behind!
