At our recent meeting we heard from members of the Sidewalk Project.
A little history: in the past two elections monies have been set aside to expand the existing sidewalks in the village.
As you know, there's a wonderful sidewalk through the village on Belknap Mountain Road. We were shown a proposed plan (and heard of the projected costs) to extend the sidewalk from where Belknap Mountain Road meets Potter Hill Road. The new sidewalk would go from the beginning of Potter Hill Road past the Church and Library to the Knolls.
The Sidewalk Committee is looking for two things:
- Donations from groups and individuals to supplement the monies set aside from warrant articles. (The Select Board wants 50% of this sidewalk paid by donation.)
- Interested voters to attend the Select Board Meeting (as yet not scheduled) to show support. We encourage everyone to watch for their upcoming agendas on the Town website.
The proposed sidewalk can be seen
HERE.
Since the sidewalk will extend past the Library, the Friends of the Library will be making a donation toward this improvement. If you are interested in making an individual contribution, respond to this email.
