Select Board signs VTrans certificates and adopts updated town road and bridge standards
Summary
The board approved a VTrans highway-mileage certificate and signed transfer and town road/bridge standards (including updated guardrail guidance), keeping the town eligible for related funding and clarifying compliance expectations for future projects.
The Townshend Select Board approved several road-related compliance documents and standards that keep the town aligned with VTrans requirements.
The board voted to approve the VTrans certificate of highway mileage and to complete and sign the transfer certificate of compliance for town roads and bridges. Members also discussed and signed updated town road and bridge standards. The coordinator noted a new guardrail standard was added; adopting the updated standards preserves eligibility for certain funding sources when the town replaces or upgrades guardrails as part of structure work.
Board members said signing the standards does not require retroactive replacement of existing guardrails but does make the town eligible for funding when guardrails are updated as part of future structure work. No votes to require immediate replacements were taken.
