BRATTLEBORO-The town, with technical assistance from consultant MSK Engineers, invites the community to join a local concerns meeting, a discussion about the Black Mountain Road Scoping Study, via Zoom on Thursday, March 19, at 6 p.m.
The project seeks "to address chronic road washouts that create financial stress to the town, impair the water quality of the Crosby Brook, and create localized flooding," according to a press release from the town.
The purpose of the meeting is to receive comments and concerns about existing conditions from local residents and the public.
The study will examine the costs and benefits of reclassifying a segment of Black Mountain Road from 460 Black Mountain Rd. to Kipling Road, narrowing the roadway width, restricting access to bicycles and pedestrians, and replacing a culvert at the intersection with Dickinson Road and a culvert across from Black Mountain Park.
The Planning Department will be open for members of the public that need a place to participate in the remote meeting; let staff know if you plan to attend in person.
The public can participate or listen online at bit.ly/857-blackmtn or by dialing 877-853-5247 (toll-free) and entering the Meeting ID number, 83510054917, when prompted. The passcode is 567864.
Questions or comments should be addressed to Brattleboro Assistant Planning Director Brian Bannon at 802-251-8111 or bbannon@brattleboro.gov.
