Select Board reviews Route 7 traffic-calming options with million-dollar price tag
Summary
The Select Board reviewed two cost estimates for East Dorset Route 7 improvements: $1,037,000 for a bike path with sidewalk and $930,000 for a bike path only; dovetailing with planned paving could save about $125,000.
The Select Board reviewed design concepts and cost estimates for Route 7 improvements in East Dorset. Staff presented two capital-cost options: $1,037,000 to build a bike path with sidewalk (which would narrow the road, add curb and a grass buffer with landscaping) and $930,000 for a bike path only.
Town staff noted that aligning the work with Route 7 paving could save approximately $125,000 on overall costs. The board asked for a preferred concept to take to VTrans for review. The materials emphasize that final design, grant opportunities and the VTrans schedule will affect final scope and cost.
The board did not adopt a preferred concept at the meeting; staff will follow up with VTrans and report back to the Select Board.
