Originally scheduled to be a single phase project, with a targeted completion date of this past June, the water main replacement portion of the project took longer than expected and after this summer’s hiatus, the project will be completed this fall.
Subsequent to DPW head Ray Jack’s presentation at our August 2016 annual meeting, the final design was adjusted over this past winter out of consideration for many abutters’ preference that the privet bushes remain in the landscape.
Jim McLoughlin, Town Engineer, used the renderings below to present the final plan to the Board of Selectmen on April 24, 2017 (gray represents existing plantings; green represents proposed plantings). As part of his report, he said that all sidewalk intersections would be ADA complaint and that all of the privets would remain. That meeting can be watched online at http://www.fctv.org/v3/vod/board-selectmen-april-24-2017-part-2 from 1:23 through 1:50.
We anxiously await the project’s completion and commend all involved with the design, planning and implementation – FHMNA directors, the abutters of Worcester Park, and especially Mr. Jack for his outreach and flexibility.
