4:30 PM: Ron Lucas, Resident of Driscoll Road
At 4:30 PM the Board met with Ron Lucas, a resident of Driscoll Road. DPW Supervisor Tim Murray attended the meeting. A follow-up discussion about the vote at Town Meeting in March 2014 to have the town take over the maintenance of Driscoll Road was held. Supervisor Murray advised the Board that DPW prefers to use the turn-around across from Greg Martus’ house rather than continue past his house, because there isn’t enough space to turn a truck around beyond that point. The Board and Mr. Lucas discussed the turn around. Supervisor Murray said other than the turn-around the road is in excellent condition and he feels that the town can take over the road starting in March of 2015.
