What: A proposed BETA Engineering contract (about $10,000) for a pedestrian crosswalk across a 40 mph road linking where the horses are kept and where they are shown.
Where it stands: Tabled July 27 pending other proposals; all five yes.
Next: Other engineering proposals.
Possibly stale: the latest information is from July 2026; no newer Select Board minutes are posted.
Vice-Chair Viner asked whether other consultants were solicited. Town Administrator Bridges said BETA was used for its familiarity with the Town and no other proposals were sought.
Questions were raised about roughly $10,000 of engineering for what looks like marking a crosswalk. Town Administrator Bridges said a 40 mph limit means a qualified engineer must design it, providing professional review and liability protection.
Motion to table pending other proposals (Selectman Grigg/Selectman Letendre): all five members voted yes.
