Board asks staff to prioritize guardrails, striping and signage for HSIP 2027 grant application
Summary
Select Board discussed potential HSIP 2027 projects—guardrail repairs, edge‑line striping, signage, rumble strips and fixed‑object removal—and asked staff to assemble a prioritized list and road details for grant submission.
Staff briefed the board on the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) application window and candidate projects. Board members and public‑works staff suggested priorities including replacing damaged guardrail, edge‑line striping, intersection signage, chevrons and targeted fixed‑object removal (trees, ledge) on candidate roads. The board asked staff to compile a prioritized list of roads and project elements for a February application deadline.
"We still have a lot of car drives that we can definitely repair," one member said, urging a practical focus on drivable repairs and guardrail replacements for flood‑damaged areas. Members also discussed the grant maximum and whether to bundle multiple project types or prioritize single projects by road segment; staff will return with a proposed list and road names to include in the application.
