Selectboard prioritizes Kyle Road Bridge, discusses paving grant targets and equipment needs
Summary
The Weston Selectboard identified Kyle Road Bridge as a priority for engineering and grant pursuit, discussed applying a paving grant to either Lower Chester Mountain Road or Landgrove Road, approved a Morgan Hill driveway permit with seasonal restriction, and directed research on chipper versus mulcher costs.
The Selectboard identified Kyle Road Bridge as a priority due to structural deterioration and agreed to use bridge funds for engineering while pursuing grant funding for construction. The minutes note material stockpiling was ordered to avoid mud‑season delays and that the board was discussing paving grant applications, with possible targets including Lower Chester Mountain Road or Landgrove Road.
The board issued a Morgan Hill driveway permit to the Curtis family but prohibited work until after May 15. On equipment, the board decided to retain the town's old six‑wheeler truck as a backup rather than trade it in; it directed staff to seek used alternatives for a side‑view mirror quoted at $829 and assigned Brian Gehlich to research the costs and training needs related to acquiring a chipper versus a mulcher.
No firm construction timelines or grant award decisions are recorded in the minutes; the items recorded are priorities and directives for further action and research.
