DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board established a sidewalk subcommittee during its meeting last week.
The subcommittee will review the proposed sidewalk bylaw amendment that was not acted upon during the annual town meeting on May 7.
The amendment proposes amending the town bylaw to make concrete sidewalks the standard.
During the meeting, Todd Logan, the citizen petitioner for the sidewalk amendment, reiterated what he had previously said during several meetings — that concrete sidewalks should be the standard — and presented the steps he had already taken while developing this amendment.
"The way the proper way to do this is to have a subcommittee and have at least two people from the Planning Board, and you can have as many people as you want that are experts … and write the bylaw in the format that matches our bylaws," Planner Zack McCain said during the meeting.
"Then the whole Planning Board will review it, and then we'd have a public hearing to let everybody have their input on it. And then we would make the changes based on the input and then have it go to the annual town meeting."
McCain is the voter who motioned during the town meeting to table the article until a public hearing.
The event brought together not just the district's special needs children and mainstreaming students but also their families, administrators, and staff, all participating in a daylong Special Olympics event at Clapp Park.
