<div>Greetings again,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will try to do a better job of keeping people informed of events, but its difficult to know what to say and when. Most attempts at making things happen don't work out under the best of circumstances, and I don't want to get peoples hopes up until there is good cause to believe something will really happen. I do also tend to make mention of town center/or economic development in my Mayors report in the Crier and at Legislative meetings. Again, I do know I can do better and will try to.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regarding bridge inspection, the ones on East-West Highway are under the states jurisdiction and inspected as all other state bridges. Our bridge on Riverdale Road is clearly in need of repair/replacement and we are working to get state aid to do so.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div> </div>

Your update was greatly appreciated. Maybe you could do a short update once a month or so on town talk to keep us abreast of what progress you are making. I think that would help. Then when we see something happening that looks bad we won't get so upset and paranoid.
<br>On another note, in light of the tragedy with the bridge recently - Do we get our bridges inspected at regular intervals and does someone in town review the safety records? We have 3 bridges, Riverdale Road, East West Highway over the River and East West Highway over the Railroad Tracks. Just a thought.
