Is it possible to avoid paving the dirt path on Mill Road in the Topsham portion of the Riverwalk? Is there a boardwalk system that would meet criteria for full accessibility?
The Advisory Committee has reviewed the options and experts have agreed that the most cost-effective material for ADA-compliant, year-round access to the Riverwalk is asphalt paving. The issues include the higher initial construction expense of alternatives, costly labor-intensive maintenance of a natural trail, and winter snow-plowing for four-season accessibility.
