Last year’s decision sticks: Town won’t remove snow from North Conway sidewalk this winter
Only the west side will be cleared along Route 16 between Eastman Road and Artist Falls Road BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — It’s going to be another snowy winter for pedestrians on the east side of the strip this season. That’s because on Tuesday the select-
men rejected spending $7,200 to clear snow from the sidewalks on both sides of Route 16 between Eastman Road and Artist Falls Road, despite the frustration vocalized last winter by at least one local business owner. The vote means the town will continue
what it did last year — clearing the sidewalks on the west side only when picking up snow, and ignoring the snow on the east side of the road. “With all the complaints we got last see SIDEWALK page 8

Workers from the N.H. Department of Transportation bridge maintenance division remove timber decking from the Saco Covered Bridge in Conway Wednesday. The bridge was closed to traffic Monday and crews immediately began the planned maintenance of replacing the decking. The construction is expected to take nine weeks, according a DOT press release, with the bridge scheduled to be reopened to traffi c on or about Jan. 3. The superintendent on site said things were moving along swiftly, but warned that workers may find some “stringers” that need replacing that could bring them to the expected date. The crew will also be working on the alarm system and lighting after the bridge reopens. Motorists should find alternate routes during the closure period. The Saco Covered Bridge was built in 1890 and rebuilt in 1989. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)
