The south end of century is residential but I do know most of the time pipeline companies leave the area looking better when they finish then what it looked like at the start. But for everyone against the gas line if you have city gas service then you should get it out of your yard because it down grades your property.

The Future Land Use along Highway 29 for the most part is not residential. The Century municode says :

Sec. 2. – [Erection of poles and construction of underground conduits, costs.]

“The work of erecting poles and constructing underground conduits under this ordinance shall be done subject to the supervision of the town, and the company shall replace or properly relay and repair any sidewalk or street that may be displaced by reason of such work, and upon failure of the company so to do, after twenty days notice in writing given by the mayor of the town to the company, the town may repair such portion of the sidewalk or street that may have been disturbed by the company, and collect the cost so incurred from the company. ”

But yes sewer lines installation tore in front of where I live now. Will cost 3K to repair. They were not held to do this at the time but should have. Not sure who was in charge then. Hopefully this administration will do better.

So, I guess those of us living along hwy 29 aren’t considered residents. Good luck with that leaving the sidewalks better than they find them. That was suppose to be the plan years ago when the sewer system was put in. For two years after they put the sewer system in, after a rain I would have a hole in my yard where they dug to put the sewer pipe in. It was fixed when I got tired of waiting on the city and fixed it myself at my expense.

Thank you to all who voiced their concerns and to the our Mayor for discouraging this project from entering our residential area.

Good news. That is the route they filed with the Published Service Commission and should be adhered to. Good for whoever held them to this. It was on file. It.may inconvenience traffic but that will pass. Now get that Alger site cleaned up. The CRA and a master plan together and that area can become a quaint revitalized area in the future, Perhaps hold the Pipe Company to making the sidewalks better than they found them.
