Mr. Bailey read the description of Prospect Hill Road and stated that there was no intent to reconstruct the street or sidewalk at this time. Mrs. Berggren of 47 Wachusett Drive asked if there was no inten- tion at this time of building sidewalk would it not be accepted now. Steve Murdrick of 72 Prospect Hill Road questioned the layout of Prospect Hill Road and asked if the dark lines on the map marked the edge of town property. Mr. McSweeney explained that the dotted lines were private way, and the dark lines were the layout width of the property line. Mr. Chase stated that there would be no land takings on Prospect Hill Road. Mrs. Anne Berg - 24 Wachusett Drive Mr. Steve Murdrick - 72 Prospect Hill Road Mr. Mahoney of 3IA Wachusett Drive were all in favor of acceptance. Mr. Bailey read all related correspondence, he also stated that one section of Wachusett Drive is going to be changed to PROSPECT HILL ROAD, and will be accepted as a Town way. Mrs. Mahoney, 3IA Wachusett Drive stated that there were no side- walks on either side and asked why, when it was resurfaced no sidewalks were put in? She asked if there were accepted streets without sidewalks. Mr. McSweeney answered, "a number of them." Mr. Greeley stated that Prospect Hill Road was accepted a.great many years ago. He says its more sensible to build sidewalks when doing major repairs. Mr. Bailey explained .that it will be less expensive to put in when putting in street than to go back and put in at a later date. Mr. Mahoney, 3IA Wachusett Drive said that this was a point well taken. He also said that sidewalks were not needed on Wachusett Drive, but were needed on Marrett Road. No further comments, and hearing was declared closed on Prospect Hill Road.
