In addition to environmental concerns regarding runoff, gravel loss and
dust, the situation exists where that section of road is nearly
impassable during spring or any rain event (similar situation from the
Plunkton Road side, so either egress can be impassable). What would our
million-dollar home owners who pay upwards of $10,000 to $25,000 in
annual property taxes say when they can't reach their home?
It is time to get past worrying about "changing the character of the
area." We must support and improve the infrastructure of our town. Yes,
people may drive faster on pavement; perhaps, we could ameliorate this
by signage, dips, or changing the speed limit. The Vermont-y feeling can
still be experienced on the Roxbury Gap Road which is paved in
sections.
And what about the ability of fire and medical emergency vehicles to
reach us when the road is impassable? That would be a tragedy that
should have been avoided.
Truly, the greatest good for the greatest number of people would be
served by paving the worst section of Fuller Hill Road. Our road crew
does a fantastic job and we thank them for their skill and hard work.
Let us trust them and listen to their evaluation and support of this
project before we delay and lose the grant money.
