Granville plans public forum for transportation survey; VTrans subaward offers about $15,000 for planning
Summary
Staff reported 13 survey responses and proposed a focus-group forum to refine priorities; board members discussed dates, advertising, and that about $15,000 from a VTrans subaward is available for planning or engineering studies.
Staff updated the board on results from a local transportation survey and recommended a focus-group style public forum inviting survey participants and other residents to provide more input. "We did get one more survey result mailed today. So, we're up to 13," staff said while outlining how the forum could be organized and advertised.
Members discussed scheduling and logistics, noting that if a majority of the Select Board attends the event it must be warned as a full board meeting. Possible timing ranged from late May to early June; one member suggested a 6 p.m. start. Staff emphasized the forum should help identify one or two priority projects the town could pursue with the subaward, noting "there is, you know, about $15,000, a little over $15,000 that can go towards planning studies or engineering studies for any sort of transportation project." They also agreed to advertise by posting a flyer on the town website and direct-notifying survey respondents.
The board discussed producing a short written summary of the survey results and using the forum to assess project feasibility and potential grant matches. No formal vote was taken; staff will propose dates, a venue, and draft discussion questions for a future meeting.
