Rachel Parsons and Judy Pellettieri, met with the Board to discuss the extension of the sidewalk on Church Street up past the Martin/Odd Fellows Building. The Fall Foliage Festival is funding the project along with donated labor from Pellettieri Landscaping. The sidewalk will alleviate any safety issues when parents are discharging children for the school season. Parent parking will be moved to the sidewalk side of Church Street. The original funding provided by the Fall Foliage Festival was intended for a school zone flashing light. This approach did not work due to many obstacles that resulted in more costs. The Highway Department will do preparation work to the area. Selectman Brayshaw made the motion to continue the sidewalk on Church Street with funding provided from the Fall Foliage Festival. Selectman Brown seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed.
