Town agrees to extend Clark Road culvert about 8 feet, cover costs

The Select Board and Road Agent inspected a culvert under Clark Road on Sept. 5 and agreed the town will extend the existing crossroad culvert pipe approximately eight (8) feet onto the Roths’ property, regrade the affected area, provide necessary fill and remove a strip of asphalt to improve drainage and roadside safety.

Town officials said the work will be paid for by the Town of Brookfield because it involves the Clark Road drainage system and is intended to improve clearance for snowplowing, routine road maintenance, and overall drainage. The site-visit record notes the culvert feeds the Roths’ pond and that a nearby rock wall currently extends too close to the road edge, constraining the drainage work. The work is planned for later this fall, weather permitting.
