Select Board approves naming new Maple Crest Farm street 'Bod Lane' to honor longtime volunteer
Summary
The board approved a street‑naming request from the Conservation Commission to name a new road in the Maple Crest Farm subdivision 'Bod Lane' in recognition of a longtime town conservation volunteer and Navy veteran; public safety checks found no conflicts in emergency response naming.
The Select Board voted June 24 to approve a street‑naming request from the Conservation Commission and planning process to name a new road in the Maple Crest Farm subdivision "Bod Lane" in recognition of a longtime conservation volunteer.
Conservation representatives briefed the board on the nominee’s long service to the town and noted the veterans agent raised no objection because the honoree is a veteran. Staff confirmed police and fire had no concerns that the requested name would be confusing for emergency response. The board moved and approved the street name by unanimous vote.
Conservation and planning representatives said the idea originated when the developer and engineering firm working on the subdivision sought name options; the Conservation Commission supported naming a lane for the volunteer and checked public safety compatibility before bringing the request to the board.
The motion approved the formal request and the board noted that planning and engineering would finalize addressing and routing as the subdivision proceeds.
