Putney Selectboard votes to adopt VTrans Town Road and Bridge Standards
Summary
The Selectboard voted to adopt updated VTrans town road and bridge standards after the Town Manager reviewed changes to optional sections and potential funding incentives; the adoption may make the town eligible for certain funding tied to standards compliance.
Town Manager Karen Astley reviewed major revisions to the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Town Road and Bridge Standards and recommended that the Selectboard adopt the updated standards, noting that adopting certain optional standards can make the town eligible for additional funding. Aileen Tulloch made the motion to adopt the standards and Rebecca "Bex" Slattery seconded; the motion passed.
The board did not amend the standards at the Feb. 18 meeting. Selectboard members were told that some funding opportunities are linked to adoption of updated standards; the Town Manager and staff will follow up on implementation details and any grant or funding implications.
