Selectboard hears roadwork and speeding reports; Brookside Drive needs updated engineer estimate
Summary
The board heard updates on highway work (Morse Hill paving, drainage on McNamara) and reviewed speeding complaints on several roads; staff said an engineer must update Brookside Drive construction plans and cost estimates after a meeting with VEM.
Town Manager Rob Gaiotti briefed the Selectboard on ongoing highway work and speeding complaints. He reported partial paving on Morse Hill Road (with intersections to be done next week), grant-funded drainage work on McNamara, road grading and tree work. Staff also said they have met with Vermont Emergency Management about Brookside Drive and that the engineer must update construction plans and cost estimates before the road work can proceed.
On speeding complaints, staff reported citizen reports for Mad Tom Road, Dorset West Road, Route 30 and Danby Mountain. Staff noted that officers often spend an hour or two at complaint locations and typically observe 5–10 cars, most of which are not speeding; meetings with the Sheriff’s Department are underway to manage complaints.
