Resident Chris Howe faults communication around French Hollow road closure
Summary
Resident Chris Howe told the Select Board that the French Hollow road closure and Old Town Road paving lacked clear notices and flagged traffic control, urging improved outreach and safer worksite practices.
Chris Howe urged the Winhall Select Board to improve notice and traffic safety for local road projects, focusing on the French Hollow closure and work on Old Town Road. Howe said the town did not communicate the status of the French Hollow road closure clearly to residents and called for better posting and outreach.
"The road closure should have been more clear to residents and posting/communication should have been better," Howe said, and he also raised concern that Old Town Road paving crews worked without flaggers, which he said created unsafe conditions. The minutes record Howe asking the board to increase outreach to residents and ensure a safe work environment on town projects. The transcript does not record a formal board response or a vote on the issue.
