ROADS
How would you describe ChebeagueÕs
roads: disgraceful? poor but safe? adequate? boring? expensive?
Since last spring the Town of Chebeague Island has had a ROAD PLAN providing options for fixing
our roads. It has also had a ROAD
PLAN COMMITTEE to recommend specific projects to be included in the budget each
year. THIS COMMITTEE NEEDS YOUR
IDEAS AND OPINIONS ABOUT SUCH THINGS AS:
Should we spend substantial amounts of money on making repairs
to the road beds of poor
roads to reduce long-term maintenance
costs? Do you think it would save money in the long run?
Should some crossroads (think about your own if you live on one)
be returned to gravel from
asphalt? What if this was the
least
expensive option?
Should we borrow money and increase the TownÕs debt to do all
the road repairs at one time, saving money by bringing equipment
and supplies out only one
time, or repair the roads over 10 to 20
years, using money put
aside in each yearÕs capital budget?
The Road Plan Committee will hold a Meeting on
Roads and the Road Plan
Thursday November 3 at 7:15 at the Hall
ItÕs your tax money
that fixes the road. Come and have
a say.
