Select Board updates: Route 7 traffic calming, Route 30 speed hearing set for April 8, and short‑term rental registrations reach 60
Summary
Updates included VTrans review of a Route 7 traffic calming concept in East Dorset, a public hearing set for April 8 on Route 30 speed and parking requests, and a short‑term rental registration tally of 60 units with outreach ongoing for 8–10 more properties.
Several standing and old‑business items were discussed on Feb. 17. Town Manager Rob Gaiotti told the board VTrans has received a concept design for Route 7 traffic calming in East Dorset and will provide feedback over coming months; state paving schedules remain uncertain and affect project timing.
Staff also reported 60 registered short‑term rental units in Dorset and that outreach is underway for an additional 8–10 properties believed to need registration. The board was informed a public hearing is scheduled for April 8 to consider Route 30 traffic committee requests, including lowering speed limits near H.N. Williams and extending a No Parking zone south of the quarry. The board received updates on FEMA application status (no change), Upper Hollow lot driveway feasibility, and a Habitat/VNA due diligence effort at 909 Route 30 to evaluate potential 1–2 housing units and a transfer to Habitat for Humanity.
