Main Street Improvements and Council Deliberations
The Acton council met with full attendance and Reeve Mazon presiding. It adopted the Race Committee’s report on expenses for streets, power, lighting, and supplies while discussing roadway widening on Main Street and adjacent corner development. The panel postponed widening this year due to bridge constraints and budget, and ordered contractor work to continue on the original plan. A ban on riding fire vehicles by non brigade members was approved and public notices planned. Roadway frontage decisions and waterworks petitions were tabled for future seasons with driveways to be preserved.
