Residents tell Selectboard Raceway Road needs drainage, base work and safety fixes; paving options debated

Several residents testified that Raceway Road's current condition — washed ruts, raised berms from repeated graveling and poor drainage — is a safety and access problem for emergencies, seniors and daily commuters. Vince Camagno (Raceway Road) described a recent emergency where ambulance travel was limited to 5 mph on the worst stretches; another resident urged speed-limit reductions and temporary traffic-calming measures. "In the 30 years, I've seen the road building up from the old gravel... it was so bad [an ambulance] could only go 5 miles an hour," one resident said.
