Last week I attended the Route 9 Reconstruction Public Meeting in Lisbon. Here is an overview of the meeting:

• Project will be starting at Barker Brook in Lisbon.
• Negotiations with property owners in Lisbon have been completed.
• Negotiations with Sabattus property owners will begin in mid-September.
• Heavy construction will begin in Spring 2010 in Sabattus if all property negotiations are resolved.
• New road will have a 11 foot travel way with 6 foot shoulders.
• Department of Transportation (DOT) will compensate for trees. They have money for trees and shrubs available. If you request, you can meet with DOT landscape designer in Fall of 2010.
• The curve with the ledge in Sabattus will be straightened and the hill will be filled.
• It is the goal of the DOT to keep all mailboxes up and running during the project.
• If you own a business on Route 9, please give DOT notice and they will work with you to keep an entrance available.
• DOT will work on Saturday’s if needed.
• DOT will run water trucks 7 days a week to keep the dust under control.
• DOT will have 2 negotiators in Sabattus. All property owners have the right to hire their own appraisers.

If you have any questions about the project, please give me a call or e-mail me.
