Mr. William Frawley, Potter Pond, asked how the workers could be made to reseal roads well after their work, as recent jobs have left streets in bad condition. Mrs. McKenna suggested setting a bond. Assistant Town Engineer David Carbonneau responded that the Engineering division is trying, through improved working relationships with the utilities, to get better street resealing. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the petition of Keyspan Energy Delivery to install and maintain approximately 600 feet of 4 -inch gas main in Waltham Street and 1500 feet of 4 -inch gas main in Piper Road, from the existing 4 -inch gas main in Waltham Street at Concord Avenue, with three conditions: 1. that a passing lane would be available 2. that a police detail would be present 3. that the street would be resealed to the Town's satisfaction
