Drainage Along Faulkner Park/Mountain Avenue
What’s Going On?
During 2024, the Department of Public Works put time and material into addressing the recurring puddles along the park boundary by adding material while maintaining necessary slope.
A dry fall also helped keep water accumulation at bay!
Spring of 2025 will reveal the wear and tear of winter on the park boundary.
Old trash cans have been removed.
In November of 2024, FOFP-VT collaborated with the Municipal Manager and Department of Public Works to try to mitigate the issues that the two large trash cans were creating in the park: frequent dumping of cans by the local foraging bear, misuse of cans for household trash, and erosion caused by large trucks accessing the cans for pick up.
It was agreed to try the following approach: that the Town would remove the two large trash receptacles, and FOFP-VT would provide two Mutt Mitt Dog Poop Bag Trash Cans to be mounted on the same pole as the bag dispensers. DPW will be responsible for the emptying of the full cans, and the replacement of trash the bags, along with the already provided service of restocking fresh Mutt Mitt bags.
This approach will be reassessed in the summer of 2025.
New green Mutt Mitt receptacles have been mounted to posts.
