Select Board asks proponents to revise Transportation Task Force scope
Summary
A proposal to form a Transportation Task Force focused on NHDOT corridors (NH 202 and 101) was debated; some residents urged a broader mandate covering local sidewalks, speed limits and town roads. The Board deferred action and asked proponents to refine the mission and goals.
Trisha Cheever proposed creating a Transportation Task Force to advocate for projects along New Hampshire Department of Transportation corridors, specifically NH 202 and NH 101, so the town could secure pedestrian and bike improvements during DOT repaving projects.
Several residents and committee members argued the group's scope should be broader. Gary Gorski said limiting the task force to DOT corridors was "far too narrow," arguing it should address sidewalks, speed limits and other town transportation needs. Others, including Matt Waitkins, said residents want more discussion about bike and pedestrian infrastructure on local roads. The Select Board did not vote to create the task force and asked proponents to revise the mission and goals to reconcile focused DOT advocacy with broader town needs.
