Planning staff told the board the town has resumed discussions and resubmitted an application to the Lakes Region Planning Commission’s 10‑year transportation plan for the North Main Street project.

The proposed project would realign a sloping curve north of Toby Road (near Armory Road) to flatten and straighten the roadway, improve sight lines, extend sidewalks (the existing sidewalk currently ends at Toby Road) and correct an intersection with poor visibility. Joseph said the corridor is used for walking and biking — including access to the Common Man Inn and Spa and Langdon Woods Recreation Area — and that the alignment was first recommended in a 1995 town report.

“Here we are, 30 years later, we might have a chance of getting it in the 10‑year plan,” Joseph told the board. Members noted a recent car‑bicycle collision on that stretch and agreed the crash could be added to the application for safety justification.

Board members asked staff to continue to push for the project as a regional priority and to update the application materials as incidents and documentation become available. No vote was required; staff said they will update the board when Lakes Region Planning Commission action is known or if additional supporting material is needed.
