Commission marks crosswalks discussion as "dead issue" after guidance review
Summary
The commission reviewed an email saying Vermont guidelines allow crosswalks when 30 inches or more of blacktop exist, but raised private property and drainage concerns and concluded crosswalk installation is not the Planning Commission's path forward at this time.
Pamela J. Spaulding summarized an email from a contact ('Mimi') reporting that Vermont state guidelines allow crosswalks when there are at least 30 inches of existing blacktop. She said guidelines currently state that 30 inches or more of blacktop are required for a crosswalk under state guidance.
Chad Stoddard noted private-property ownership and drainage issues could complicate installing crosswalks. The commission characterized the matter as a 'dead issue' for its work at present—meaning it will not pursue crosswalk installations directly because of rights-of-way and drainage constraints. No further action or formal vote on crosswalk installation was taken.
