Selectboard hears road report; Larkin Bridge damage, Flint Bridge plans, and town garage siting discussed
Summary
Road foreman reported a light mud season and sufficient materials; Larkin Bridge was struck and Mike Howe will provide a repair quote. The architect will visit the Town Garage site to discuss placement and next steps; Selectboard members asked for truck quotes and a replacement schedule.
The town’s roads update noted that “There wasn’t much of a mud season” and that crews had adequate material on hand, the Selectboard heard April 28. Board members discussed two bridge issues: Flint Bridge remains pending while the state determines plans, and Larkin Bridge was recently struck; the meeting record states that Mike Howe will provide a quote to repair Larkin Bridge.
Vice Chair Mike McPhetres raised the next steps for a replacement Town Garage, saying the architect will meet at the garage at a time that works for the Selectboard to discuss siting. John O’Brien asked the board to review the replacement schedule, and Rodney Hoyt said he would gather quotes on truck options (6-wheel, 10-wheel) to inform procurement decisions. The board scheduled a site visit with the architect for May 4 to review potential locations and design options.
The road report combined operational updates with planning items the board asked staff and members to follow up on: bridge repair quotes, a garage site visit, and truck procurement estimates.
