Segment 1. North Main Street between railroad bridge and Stowe Street
Sidewalk work continues on North Main Street from the railroad bridge towards the downtown core. The schedule for concrete depends on weather. Be prepared to be flexible these next few weeks as the work crew progresses by each property. Forms will be in place for newly poured sidewalks.
Residents are asked to communicate with workers if they are blocking a driveway so they can make accommodations. When new concrete is poured, vehicles will need to park off site for several days until the concrete has cured. Parking is available at the municipal office building and library. Neighbors are encouraged to coordinate to share parking.
Businesses affected will have temporary pedestrian access while the concrete cures.
Walkways to each property are being prepped for matching into the new sidewalks.
