Officials cite funding hurdles with Forest Service for long-term traffic fixes
Summary
Town officials and agency partners said previous attempts to obtain federal or state funding for traffic improvements at Cemetery Point stalled because of bureaucratic challenges with the Forest Service; they plan to document needs to support future funding requests.
Town and agency officials at the June 18 work session described prior attempts to obtain federal or state funding for traffic and infrastructure work at Cemetery Point and said those efforts were unsuccessful due to bureaucratic hurdles involving the Forest Service. Attendees said the funding shortfall is a barrier to pursuing longer-term solutions such as a bypass lane around the toll area.
Participants agreed to document congestion- and emergency-access risks to strengthen future funding requests and to continue exploring grant or state-aid options. No specific funding sources, grant names, or dollar figures were provided during the session.
