ERVING — Special Town Meeting voters will consider four funding items, including an appropriation for restoring sidewalks, on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Senior and Community Center.
The sidewalk restoration will cover areas around River, Warner and Strachan Streets. So far, the town has set aside about $520,000 for the project, of which about $320,000 is from the state and about $200,000 is from the town’s own money. The Town Meeting article will appropriate another $200,000 of town funds to the project.
This is the first of two chunks of sidewalk restoration work the town expects to do in the next several years. Sidewalks around Route 63 are also being restored by the state Department of Transportation. Optimistically, all sidewalks in Ervingside could be restored and brought up to accessibility code within three years, Administrative Coordinator Bryan Smith said.
