Selectboard authorizes VTrans bike/ped grant application for RRFBs at Route 132 crosswalk
Summary
The Selectboard authorized the Town Administrator to submit an application for a VTrans Small-Scale Bike/Ped Grant to install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons at the Route 132 crosswalk, estimating a $44,000 project cost with a 50% town contribution; a friendly amendment adding the cost estimate passed unanimously.
The Sharon Selectboard authorized Town Administrator Nicola Shipman to submit a VTrans Small-Scale Bike/Ped Grant application to install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at the crosswalk on Route 132. During the motion, Selectboard Vice Chair Kevin Gish offered a friendly amendment adding an estimated total project cost of $44,000 and an expected town contribution of 50% of the total; the amended motion passed unanimously.
Shipman said the Town needs a sidewalk inventory (to be completed using remaining Shared Energy Coordinator hours through TRORC) to support eligibility for future bicycle/pedestrian grant funding. The minutes record the authorization but do not include a formal grant application or timeline; staff will proceed with submittal and follow-up work to support the application.
