Neighbors cite narrow roads, parking and past blasting as safety concerns near 19 Hill Street

Neighbors at the meeting raised public-safety and traffic-access concerns tied to the small parcel at 19 Hill Street. John Goger told attendees that "Firet truck can't get through," describing narrow roads and limited off-street parking that could impede emergency response. Other residents described prior blasting on nearby properties and said additional construction or heavy truck traffic would exacerbate access problems.

Heather Forestman asked whether the buyer planned construction or would keep the lot open, and whether the town could remove the parcel from the grants list and reallocate it as a wildlife area instead of selling it. Town Manager Harrington said the town would at least maintain current upkeep but could not promise increased maintenance funding; the meeting did not produce a specific development plan from the buyer.
