Committee weighs adopting Route 7 as a town highway to gain local control and improve pedestrian safety
Summary
Committee members discussed the merits of adopting Route 7 from the La Platte Bridge as a Class 1 town highway to allow the town greater control over design, maintenance and pedestrian access improvements compared with current state management.
Committee members discussed the possible adoption of Route 7 from the La Platte Bridge as a Class 1 town highway so the town could exercise greater control over design and maintenance and pursue safety and pedestrian‑access improvements not available under state management.
Proponents argued that municipal control would allow safety improvements and better pedestrian access; the discussion was exploratory and no formal motion on adopting the highway was recorded at this meeting.
