Nicolin Road conditions prompt citizen petition
ELLSWORTH Immediately after the City Council reviewed the Public Works Department’s $1.5 million capital improvement requests for fiscal year 2022, the council heard from Nicolin Road resident Mike Finney over the condition of his road.
Over 100 people had signed a petition submitted to the council requesting “permanent upgrades to the ongoing unacceptable condition of the town way, Nicolin Road.”
“It wouldn’t take a whole lot to make it a whole lot more usable,” Finney said, also noting safe sight distance is “nonexistent for the most part.”
The petition garnered 107 signatures over nine hours on two recent Saturdays. The accompanying letter states: “Many [signers] shared stories of their failed attempts with city officials to improve Nicolin Road. Other shared stories of blown tires, bent rims, chipped paint from rocks or damage to shocks, mufflers, etc.”
