Minor repairs are suggested for the Sherwin's Pond Dam, nothing will be done with the Canal Dam since it will no longer be needed. The Trail Bridge is in good condition and requires no work at this time, according to Gartner Lee, but there are some safety concerns in regards to the Railway Bridge. The horizontal crack in the northeast wingwall should be repaired, the grade on top of the bridge should be improved and railings should be installed on the top of the arch on both sides to provide a, safety for users.
