The projects discussions included:
Cliff Rd FFY 2011-2012
Hummock Pond Rd FFY 2013-2014
The only comments received have been some minor edits from Mass DOT.
There have been some phone calls asking about the shift in the schedule for
the above projects.
Peter Brace: What the time frame may be for Cliff Rd?
M. Burns: 2 year span with a possible late Fall 2010 start
with some base paving down to Sherburne Turnpike by Memorial Day 2011.
N. Liberty Street is not included due to easement issues & Zoning changes.
No action is necessary tonight.
The Public Hearing will be closed at the NP&EDC Aug.2, 2010 meeting and
action will be taken at that time.
D. Discussion: FFY 2011 UPWP, Review Any Public Comments
The pavement study is not an update of the existing DPW plan.
This study will help the State to evaluate road conditions across the entire
State. Once our study is approved, if funding becomes available it could be
considered a “shovel ready project” for that funding.
As above with the TIP, no action is necessary tonight, but will be taken up
on the Aug. 2, 2010 meeting.

John McLaughlin asked about the LORAN site.
Chairman Lowell said that topic will be on the Aug. 2, 2010 agenda for
discussion.
