During the recent special meeting at Coyle Town Hall on May 20, 2025, town officials made significant strides toward improving local infrastructure, particularly in road maintenance and equipment acquisition.
One of the key decisions involved moving forward with a contract for asphalt work, with an estimated cost of $13,500. This contract will cover essential tasks such as soft cutting, removal, and installation of road base, as well as rolling for compaction and applying a three-inch layer of hot mix asphalt. The approval of this contract is expected to enhance the safety and accessibility of local roads, addressing long-standing concerns from residents.
Additionally, the town is set to receive a new tractor, which was ordered following discussions in a previous meeting. The delivery is anticipated within the next week, which will aid in ongoing maintenance efforts. Officials expressed optimism that the new equipment will help keep the town's infrastructure in better condition.
The meeting also touched on the need for further assessments of various road conditions, particularly in areas identified as needing urgent attention. Officials noted specific locations that require immediate repairs, ensuring that the town remains proactive in addressing infrastructure issues.
As the town moves forward with these initiatives, there is potential for leftover funds from the budget, which could be reinvested into additional road improvements. This forward-thinking approach reflects the town's commitment to maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for its residents through effective infrastructure management.
