LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen will hold a public hearing Monday to discuss the engineering proposal from Wright-Pierce for the continuing a walk bike path on Foundry Road and sidewalk project on Park Street.
The hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 5 at the Town Office. It will be followed by a regular selectmen’s meeting.
The project would extend the half-mile trail along the Androscoggin River to the intersection of Foundry Road and Route 133. It also includes putting in a sidewalk on Route 133 from the intersection to the town’s lot that is used for a municipal snow dump.
The path opened in 2009 and starts behind the municipal office and runs along the side of Foundry Road to near Verso Paper’s carry-in, carry-out boat launch. That project cost is about $223,000, with the town responsible for about $44,000.
The engineering and design proposal to extend the path would cost $14,523 for Wright-Pierce, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said. The town received a grant to pay the majority of this stage.
The town is responsible for 20 percent of that amount, or $2,850.60, and a Maine Department of Transportation grant would pay the remaining $11,402.40, she said.
Flagg said at a February selectmen’s meeting that it has been decided that the path will continue on the road where it left off.
