Wondering who paid for repaving rt 85 in front of the transfer station. The gas company or the taxpayers.
I had been concerned about the recent removal of the trees in the island strip in the Town House parking lot. I called the DPW this morning and was told to contact the Facilities Department. If there are others who were also concerned, this is the reply that I just received from John Parent, Director of Facilities. “The trees were removed after it was brought to our attention that they were dropping a substance that was affecting the clearcoat on the paint of the cars that were parked under them. Yes, we are intending to replace the trees that were removed with new ones that will not create the same problem when we are addressing the landscaping related to the current Town House Renovations Project. This in anticipated to occur either later this fall or next spring.”
