Reason(s) for Article:
At the May 2001 Town Meeting, Article 14 was approved to appropriate monies to
provide legal work and engineering necessary to lay out and accept certain private
ways, including Easy Street. In order to accept a roadway the Town must have fee
ownership in the Way and receive Town Meeting Approval. This article provides the
means through an eminent domain taking to obtain fee ownership in the roadway.
Once fee ownership is obtained, a future warrant article will be presented for street
acceptance.
