<div>Sue, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I for one am not offended in the least. We actually did just pass this last budget cycle (in June), the largest infrastructure bill in town history, times about 5. This was the soonest I could obtain the funding to fulfill my campaign promise to get all of our streets and sidewalks
</div>
<div>up to county standard. After obtaining the funding, we then have to complete the engineering of the projects, and go to bid. The work should begin as soon as asphalt becomes available in the Spring--probably April. It will likely then take two summers to complete.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When you have specific places that you are concerned about you should feel free to send them directly to me, as well as to the Town list if you like. I will make sure that the brick pavers are considered, as that overall project was completed recently enough that they may have been overlooked by the engineer unless someone specifically brought it up during the survey I requested both through Town Talk and the Town Crier last winter.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any concerns sent to me since I became mayor have in fact always been deferred--unless an emergency--to be included in this large infrastructure project in order to get the work done in an economical and standardized manner.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes, </div>
<div> </div>
