Starting in June, the Public Works Dept. will be cutting back brush and other vegetation within the public right of way throughout the Town. The purpose is to maintain safe access to sidewalks and roadways per our Town’s General bylaws. This work is typically on-going through the summer months.
The area of cutting may extend to the edge of the public right of way. Any vegetation overhanging a sidewalk or road will be trimmed using a large flail mower attached to an excavator. Note: this type of trimming will not produce a manicured finish to the vegetation. Please be aware that the public right of way in many streets could extend 6-8 feet beyond the edge of the street.
If you would like to perform your own trimming, please remove any cut vegetation from sidewalks. Residents may bring this material to the Bedford Recycling Center (BRC) at 108 Carlisle Rd (Wed & Sat 8AM-1PM). Thank you.
