Select Board directs 911 coordinator to change 'Schoolhouse Road' to one word
Summary
The board voted to instruct the emergency 911 coordinator to change Schoolhouse Road from two words to the single-word 'Schoolhouse Road' and to update the state database and order a new sign.
The Townshend Select Board approved a request from Peter Mark Van Carlson to change the official address formatting for Schoolhouse Road to a single word. The applicant provided a 1988 letter supporting the one-word form, and town staff indicated a street sign currently reads two words.
A motion to direct the emergency 911 coordinator to change the name carried by voice vote. The board also approved ordering a new road sign; one member said, "I'll order it tomorrow." Helen Holt said once the board passes the change she will inform the 911 database in Montpelier so systems can be updated.
