Board OKs $50,000 for Boxhall Street multi‑phase study, cites grant potential
Summary
Selectmen approved $50,000 to hire on‑call engineering (Haley Ward) to study reconstruction needs on Boxhall Street, including wetlands, drainage, and rock excavation; members flagged grant opportunities for bike lanes and evacuation‑route improvements.
The Board approved a $50,000 appropriation from capital non‑recurring funds for an engineering study of the Boxhall Street multi‑phase project. Public Works Director Gary Schneider said Haley Ward would produce a scope, topo and environmental review; members noted possible wetlands, drainage needs, rock excavation and safety concerns on a narrow corridor.
Board members and the director discussed delivery (on‑call engineer contract with not‑to‑exceed terms), monitoring of hours, and using the study as the basis for grant applications for bike lanes and evacuation‑route improvements. The appropriation passed by voice vote.
