Dodge Lane in East Andover, just beyond the church as you head toward Franklin, used to connect to Maple Street, offering residents a choice as to how to access Route 11. The Board of Selectmen has mailed letters to all the homeowners on Dodge Lane to see if they are in favor of re-establishing Dodge Lane’s connection to Maple Street. Currently, the only access to Dodge Lane is off of Route 11, and the intersection is less than ideal.

This issue will be discussed on Monday, June 2, at 7:30 PM at Town Hall by the Board of Selectmen and will help develop a town-wide plan for future road projects.

Johnson Lane is a private way in the heart of Cilleyville that was once a Town road. The owners have offered to return the road to the Town of Andover. This will be discussed on Monday, June 2, at 8 PM at the Town Hall by the Board of Selectmen and the Road Agent. This opportunity for public input will be the start of the process, which may culminate with a warrant article at Town Meeting in 2015.

The Board of Selectmen will also be addressing the maintenance of private roads by the Town of Andover. While New Hampshire state law bars the Town from spending public money on private roads, many New Hampshire towns have established a fee-for-service policy to address plowing and grading of private roads.

A third of the properties in the Town of Andover are located on private roads, and the Board of Selectmen invites your opinions and ideas on this issue. This will be discussed on Monday, June 2, at 8:30 PM at Town Hall.
