DOT draft cuts dozens of projects; Plymouth planning staff urges public comment at Oct. 20 hearing
Summary
Town planning staff warned the Planning Board that the New Hampshire DOT draft 10-year plan proposes cutting dozens of municipally advanced projects and urged the public to attend a GAC hearing tentatively set for Oct. 20 in Plymouth to weigh in.
Planning staff told the Planning Board that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation's draft 10-year plan would, under current revenue projections, propose removing 49 municipally advanced projects from the list and also exclude newly proposed projects. The town's transportation advisory committee heard the update from DOT Commissioner Bill Watson at a regional meeting and staff encouraged local residents to attend a public hearing in Plymouth.
Why it matters: the 10-year plan determines which state-funded road, bridge and sidewalk projects receive programmed attention and funding. If projects are cut from the plan, towns can lose a primary funding pathway for improvements such as intersection upgrades and sidewalks.
