Solid Waste pick up snow delay

An email from Recycling News arrived this afternoon to announce:

Due to the anticipation of large snowfall, curbside trash and recycling will be delayed one day.  Please remember to make sure carts are placed in a stable location so they do not tip over or hit by snow removal equipment.  Cart lids must be closed for pickup and any additional trash placed in orange overflow bags available at the PW office.

Bulk burnable items (i.e. sofa or chair) must be called in today by 3 pm and placed for collection by Thursday at 7:00 AM.  They will be picked up on Thursday or Friday.

"Construction is expected to last about four months"

"We are looking for your input so we can finish up and get this out to bid," Taberner told about 15 people who attended the meeting.

The work, to be paid for through a $1 million state public works grant, is expected to include the parking lot, Emmons Street between Main Street and Hillside Road, Dean Avenue between Main and Ray streets, Ray Street and Depot Street, Taberner said.

Taberner still has to talk with a few nearby property owners, and public works crews must finish surveying the existing drainage system with cameras before bids are sought, he said.

Curbing and sidewalks will be more clearly defined, delineating between pedestrian and vehicle space, said William Paille, a project manager with Weston & Sampson, a consulting firm that is working on the downtown revitalization efforts.
