Top issues during term (3)(Roads)
Pedestrian access to Constitution Drive from Cottage Court development
A sidewalk and retaining wall could cost far more than a typical sidewalk — an expense the applicant said would be passed on to future homebuyers.
Nashua Road bridge reconstruction over Riddle Brook
Town's share is about $500K from existing local roads funding — no new taxes for the engineering phase, though a future warrant article will be needed for construction.
2026-2027 Road Reconstruction Program
A proposed $500K roads article would have added about $0.08 to the tax rate (~$56 on a $700K home).
