Delay downtown Dover-Foxcroft road improvement project  

To the Editor;

I am writing this letter to ask the Town of Dover-Foxcroft to consider delaying the downtown road improvement project for several years. The logic for this is simple: Roads and sidewalks throughout the town are in a state of serious disrepair and we should allocate our limited resources towards existing needs instead of spending even more money on new studies to find new problems.

The town’s share of this study was $25,000. We won’t even know the cost of this proposed project until public comments are finalized.

The layout of the roads is not perfect, but it feels as though whatever the final cost of this project is, it would be a better use of taxpayer money to repair the roads and sidewalks that we have.

Once the roads and sidewalks are in a state of good repair, then we should discuss if we should make improvements elsewhere, what improvements are needed, and how much they will cost.
