There are some that feel “we have been telling the Town about the culvert since 2004” is sufficient balm.
It’s not for me.
I believe we need to examine the process and people involved that resulted in this mess.
The Planning Department is the steward of the CIP process, let’s start there.
Slouchy.
The Norris Brook culverts were not included in the CIP Committee’s top 10 for 2011.
The loss of the Swasey Parkway for as many as two Summers is very disappointing.

You need to know more about how the town works before you go blaming people that are not at fault.
