Board to notify dead-end residents about turnaround/discontinuance options and seek three road-segment recommendations
Summary
Select Board directed staff to mail letters by June 1 to residents on qualifying dead-end/class-4 roads to explain possible turnarounds or discontinuance options and asked staff to bring recommendations for three road segments at the next planning meeting.
The Select Board voted to send notice letters to residents on qualifying dead-end and class-4 roads by June 1 informing them about potential turnaround construction or discontinuance options.
Members emphasized the need to set realistic priorities: instead of tackling the entire reclassification list, the board asked the town administrator and planning-chair liaison to recommend up to three road segments for formal reclassification consideration at the next planning meeting. The letters will explain the consequences and options (turnaround construction vs. discontinuance) and invite resident feedback; staff will prepare the mailings and return with proposed priority segments for the board to consider.
The board also discussed the operational implications for snow removal and equipment access and agreed that letters should include clear timelines and options for property owners to respond.
