Epping residents express safety concerns to selectmen
October 3, 2008
Residents of Jenness Road want help from the Board of Selectmen to keep the road safe.
Resident John Driscoll recently asked selectmen to do something about a plugged culvert which has caused water to back up onto eight different properties in the area, as well as created a dangerous situation for vehicles traveling along Jenness Road.
“With that (culvert) plugged up, the water backs up and sheets across the road,” Driscoll said. “Then, in the winter it freezes, and the Public works guys are out there all the time chipping it away, and laying down sand. Then the water runs over it again, and freezes over the sand. I’m surprised nobody’s gotten killed on that corner.” The culvert, which was plugged in 1994, has been an ongoing problem for Driscoll and his neighbors. His mother lived there prior to him, and couldn’t understand where the flooding issues were coming from until the day they found out the culvert had been plugged.
