Select Board seeks consultant and to post Main Street Bridge as single-lane
Summary
The board asked staff to prepare an RFP for a consultant (including a hydrologist) to coordinate Main Street Bridge work, agreed to post the bridge as single-lane to address sight-line concerns, and planned outreach to property owners and state representatives.
Select Board members directed staff on June 11 to prepare an RFP to hire a consultant — including hydrological expertise — to help with planning and project management for the Main Street Bridge. The board also discussed signage and sight-line issues and agreed to post the bridge as single-lane where previously decided.
Members said the proposed consultant should help the town manage moving parts, identify grant opportunities, and coordinate property-owner conversations; the board asked a member to conduct one-on-one outreach to owners to assess willingness to donate land or discuss easements. The town will pursue additional information from state contacts and consider grant options after the consultant provides cost estimates and a project plan.
Next steps: staff will draft an RFP and return in a few weeks with consultant options and a recommended schedule for owner outreach and grant research.
