2 issues in roads with medium priority
Pleasant Valley Road improvements
The applicant will reconstruct Pleasant Valley Road — widening it to 21 feet with curbing and a guardrail — and pay for it, asking the Town Council to accept the work as a donation. Residents on the narrow road should see better access for fire and emergency vehicles.
Elm Drive private right-of-way construction impacts
Elm Drive neighbors worried that utility trenching and construction vehicles will overburden their narrow, unpaved 12-foot right-of-way and block their access. The applicant's engineer said work would take only days, be done in the road shoulder, and access would be maintained — but enforcement of any damage is a civil matter between the parties.
