North Main Street reconstruction in Sunderland raises complaints, safety concerns > >Related stories citizens concerned about future of Sunderland’s Buttonball Tree
SUNDERLAND The current state of North Main Street’s construction has raised complaints and safety concerns, but Town Administrator Geoff Kravitz said the Selectboard can only do so much.
“The Selectboard has discussed it. We sent a letter to the highway district,” Kravitz said. “We’re trying to be as helpful as possible by connecting people with resources.”
North Main Street is a part of state Route 47, which makes this a state construction project, thus limiting the town’s ability to get involved. Kravitz said he knows the road is in rough shape through his own experience on it, but residents just need to take their time because the project is more than a simple repaving.
