Appearances

Carolyn Stiles asked for clarification on Class VI roads. She was interested in who owns a Class VI road, how maintenance was handled, what happens when maintenance encroaches onto private property, how permission to maintain is given and what the definition of road maintenance is. The Selectmen agreed that the Road Agent would take measurements and that a Selectman would visit Bible Hill Road. The Select Board will revisit this in 2 weeks. Karen had an inquiry as to the Class VI status of Deer Valley Road; the Select Board was able to answer her question.
