Derby board weighs $60,000 Park & Ride grant, tables parking-conversion decision
Summary
Board discussed a $60,000 Park & Ride grant requiring a $20,000 match and at least 10 parking spaces; conversion of old tennis courts and possible purchase of a nearby bowling alley were considered but the board tabled further action amid neighbors’ vibration concerns.
Board members reviewed a proposed Park & Ride grant valued at $60,000 that requires a $20,000 local match and completion by Feb. 4, 2028. The grant stipulates a minimum of 10 parking spaces.
Discussion focused on how much of the town’s old tennis courts might be converted to parking and whether the town should consider purchasing the nearby bowling alley that is for sale to create additional spaces. Bob Kelley informed the board that the Beloins, neighbors of the potential parking area, raised concerns about construction vibrations and requested the possibility of screening if parking were developed.
The board did not take action on parking or property acquisition and tabled the item for a future meeting. No formal motion to pursue purchase or conversion was recorded.
