Selectboard authorizes signatures for 2025 weight‑limit postings after culvert concerns
Summary
Road Commissioner Robin Martin reported an emergency culvert repair on Main Street and the Selectboard voted to allow all members to sign State of Vermont weight‑limit documentation; Robin plans a VTRANS meeting Feb. 21 to pursue culvert and ditch grants.
Road Commissioner Robin Martin told the Selectboard on Feb. 19 that a culvert on Main Street requires emergency repair and that the town should adopt a more comprehensive inspection program for ditches and roadside trees. Martin said trees should be cut flush to the ground to avoid disturbing roots and flagged several grant and coordination opportunities to address infrastructure needs.
The board discussed seasonal posting of town roads for weight limits to prevent damage and authorized a procedural change to speed posting: Peter Brzozowy moved that all Selectboard members be allowed to sign the State of Vermont weight‑limit documentation; the motion, seconded by Pat Treckman, passed unanimously. Martin also said she will meet with VTRANS on Feb. 21, 2025 to discuss culvert and ditch grants and other road-related funding options.
