Does anyone know why its taking so long to complete the new lane markings in Meredith? The resurfacing was done in late July.

All has to go before the zoning board. Then the planning board. Then the selectmen. Then the Wetlands Board. Then the Historic District Commission. Then the building inspector. Then the NH DOT. Then the state Line Painting Color Commission. Then the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
And finally the Meredith Dog Officer.

Kind of like the joke about the minister who found the dead donkey in his yard, huh? All he wanted to do was get it picked up and he had to go through every board department you can think of. Or the lady who slide down the tree and went to the dr. to get the splinter removed. Maybe someone has them or can remember them and post them. They are funny. Kind of pathetic I guess, but still funny.

The new asphalt failed some type of test and it maybe will have to be removed and redone ..... dunno anything else?

...........

Now that Aubuchon's is in the process of moving over to the Hannaford retail store plaza, anyone know if the State of NH will be removing the Aubuchon building and replacing the big intersection with another roundabout anytime soon and removing all the stoplights? So, what's the plan, what's the plan here for another roundabout .... how many hundreds of years before it gets built?

Thanks for the reference to the Sun article, I had missed it. There's very little information on the paving/striping issue but a lot about a host of other extraneous issues. When I see phraseology like "may have to be removed and redone, and unclear responsibilities between contractor and material supplier", its a sure bet there's much finger pointing going on.
