Resident seeks weight limit on Transit Road; supervisor cites county negotiations with former AES plant proprietors

Resident Larry Dormer used the meeting's public-comment period to raise a roadway safety and damage concern, saying a 10-ton limit had been placed on Hess Road and asking whether a similar limit could be applied to Transit Road. "Is there any way we can put a weight limit on Transit Road?" Dormer asked.

Supervisor John Syracuse responded that Hess Road is a county-maintained road and that he had spoken with the county commissioner of public works and the county manager. Syracuse said the county is "in the process of trying to get an Agreement with the Proprietors of the former AES Plant that will dictate the roadways these trucks are to be on and also set aside a dollar amount for damages to the roads." He thanked Dormer for raising the concern and indicated the town will continue to coordinate with county officials on the issue.

The exchange produced no formal action at the meeting; residents and board members may expect follow-up from the county or town staff if and when a formal road-use agreement is negotiated.
