Whether one lane of the Brown Bridge is closed during construction or whether it is shut down altogether, the construction will be a major disruption to traffic, especially considering the fact that the town-owned Division Street bridge was closed by the state in the second week of September.
Though the vote was unanimous to keep the bridge closed, selectboard Chairman Steve Bannon said the board could always change its mind if there was a groundswell of objections from neighbors.
Town Planner Chris Remold has launched a web survey for people who can’t come to the forums. He also hopes to record the forum or stream it on CTSB-TV. (See link to survey in this story.)
