Selectmen authorize town administrator to sign maintenance agreement with NHDOT for rail-trail crossings
Summary
The Board authorized the town administrator to sign an agreement making the town responsible for operation and maintenance of flashing pedestrian crosswalk beacons at rail-trail crossings; board members noted the work was not budgeted for 2025.
The Greenland Board of Selectmen authorized the town administrator to execute a maintenance agreement with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation covering at‑grade crossings on the rail trail.
Under the agreement the town will assume responsibility for the operation, maintenance and recordkeeping for the rapid rectangular flashing beacons (RRFB) and ground-mounted signage at the crossings. The board moved to authorize the town administrator to sign the maintenance agreement with NHDOT and approved the motion by voice vote.
A selectman noted the maintenance obligation was not budgeted in the 2025 operating budget and said the town should plan to include future maintenance costs in coming budgets.
Ending: The agreement formalizes local responsibility for the new crossing beacons; selectmen said they expect to budget for ongoing maintenance in subsequent fiscal years.
