I know Cherry Street affects a great number of people in town. Last night at the city council meeting the construction in Old Town was discussed at length. Rather than summarize the whole discussion I uploaded the video for you to watch and listen to yourself.
But in short the city has begun the process to call the Performance Bond and the Material/Payment Bond. It could take a few months for things to start up on the project again regardless of bonding. The street was supposed to be opened today for use while the situation is figured out.
The concern for the contractor by the council is understandable but the concern for the material suppliers who are local should also be of concern when analyzing the situation. I think the council did the right thing by getting the ball rolling on this.
