It would be nice if the construction work could be finished and the road didn't have so many potholes from the construction work being done. We want our road back.

Hi there patient neighbor and resident,
I feel your pain. I'm wondering if either of you know the deadline date for the project and also if you've spoken to anyone at Town Hall about the quality of the work?
Unfortunately there isn't a lot that can be done about ongoing construction projects, because towns often provide a lot of lead time for the completion of this kind of work. But if the contractor missed the deadline and/or the work is poor, then you can ask the town not to rehire the contractor. But before you do that it's fair to check the contract for the job itself and see whether they're living up to the deal. I'll see if I can find it.

Hello,
I drove Church Street today and it appears that they laid down a new layer of asphalt. Is that true? If not, I'm not sure what you're expecting in terms of more work. I'm guessing it's a fresh layer though.
The Town Office building is right there on the street so I can't imagine the contractor was going to leave a bumpy road.
Let me know if I missed anything, but otherwise you can probably close this issue.

OK, I didn't pull into anyone's driveway to see if the seams were smooth! lol ... Also, I'm just a newspaper guy and I'm not pretending to have a complete understanding of how these projects are done.
But from the standpoint of a guy who was driving down the street for the first time, I honestly didn't find any potholes or significant bumps in the main thoroughfare. They added curbing as well, possibly within the last week or so (at least that's how new they looked to me).
That said, if there are still problems I missed, maybe they're not finished so let's keep our fingers crossed.
