Sidewalk Responsibility After Turnpike Construction
The State Highway Department told Town Manager Harry B. Flood that the state is not responsible for clearing snow on sidewalks fronting private property on Ferry boulevard. The dispute arose when residents refused to clean sidewalks they claimed were state property. The department argued the sidewalks were rebuilt during turnpike construction and state responsibility ended, though it would still replace or renew damaged sections as needed. Future cases will follow this legal basis.
