Reason(s) for Article:
These roadways are part of the Unaccepted Roadways Improvement Program which
the Town funds through an annual CIP request. These roadways have been
improved or will be improved to a level to warrant roadway acceptance as a public
way. This article provides the means for the Town to take ownership of the roadway
and have the roadway accepted as a public way. Once the roadways are public, the
Town receives additional monies from the state (Chapter 90 program) for future
roadway repairs.
