Citizens’ concerns and comments-

Cory Bouchard expressed opposition to the “No Parking” signs having been removed from the North side of Houghton Falls Road.  Cory requested that the Town Board reconsider this action and put the signs back up at least thru the summer to see how it works out.

Steve Kreuser said his property was inaccessible for 2-3 week this spring and would like to see more work done on this Forest Road.

Patrick Beilfuss had contacted the town chairman regarding the possibility of purchasing 15 acres at the end of Peacy Road.  Peacy Road dead ends at Brian Birmingham’s driveway but is platted beyond. The town would have no problem with Beilfuss putting a driveway in on town right of way and maintain said road but it would still remain town right of way.
