    Good Morning Mr. Mayor,

    As a resident of Ledyard, and of Long Pond Road in particular, I am interested in knowing more about your report card item #20 regarding an MOU with the MPTN to $1.2 million repairs pending for Long Pond Rd. Can you please tell me what repairs are pending, and what the time frame for completion will be?
