1
00:00:02,350 --> 00:00:17,850
You're going to call meeting to order at 5.33 p.m., present, then false, glory, agenda. David Utiger, citizen Utiger,

2
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:28,190
Howdy Hughes and Michael Hughes. Any relation between you two? A little bit, okay.

3
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:34,450
Fifty-second anniversary. Wow. Wow. We're going to put that in public comment.

4
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:40,550
Make a note of that, huh? First, Laurie, can we review and approve the meeting?

5
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:49,510
I would like to review an approved minister 9-2.

6
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:50,630
No second that.

7
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:52,230
Are those in favor?

8
00:00:52,590 --> 00:00:52,890
Five.

9
00:00:56,550 --> 00:00:57,870
Okay, then we...

10
00:00:57,870 --> 00:00:58,450
Any

11
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:03,780
request from you?

12
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:04,680
Nope.

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,060
Any public comment?

14
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:14,160
Public comment.

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,120
None.

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Seeing none.

17
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,460
Okay.

18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Continuing business.

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,040
Main street and town of Peru.

20
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,760
traffic calming discussion.

21
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:56,730
Doing the left turn of the green and slicing off a part of the green and the whole

22
00:01:56,730 --> 00:02:00,530
thing with a little bar needs to dry my stuff. I'm not like totally on a percent of

23
00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:08,570
positive but it's just such a it's just such a miniscule min-minimal solution to

24
00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:13,010
the problem. It's maybe you'll take care of 200 feet in the village. I think that

25
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:18,270
the counties that he's got back here and do a study that goes from root to

26
00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:22,650
liver to the fire station. I see how they can call the driver on that

27
00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:25,890
scratch road because that's the scratch road that everyone's really concerned about.

28
00:02:26,050 --> 00:02:32,050
It doesn't help the hues of me or anyone living on up in Monroe to make do that

29
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:36,310
left turn in the village. But I don't want to sound like I'm here just from my

30
00:02:36,310 --> 00:02:40,090
I don't solve this interest because I think I don't know what I'm going to do.

31
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:47,200
Like I said, all the way from rural letters to the forest station,

32
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:51,470
all the way from past potters.

33
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,530
I'm here speaking for potter.

34
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:54,490
Even a river.

35
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:57,890
Back in the sand.

36
00:02:58,450 --> 00:02:59,730
I want to be with what you're saying,

37
00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:02,750
without even having heard from you before.

38
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:05,030
I mean, look at my son, I don't know.

39
00:03:05,530 --> 00:03:07,250
And Patty will talk about it quickly.

40
00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:17,210
You know, even if the speed signs were changed, say, at the fire, my suggest just look

41
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:17,770
as night time.

42
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:23,550
Well, maybe, you know, people see the sign that says 40 gone with 30 at David's.

43
00:03:23,930 --> 00:03:30,470
Maybe they should start 30 at, you know, just if people see it, will they do it?

44
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:31,650
Yeah, perhaps.

45
00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:35,890
But it at least says, OK, it's not 40 anymore.

46
00:03:38,350 --> 00:03:39,510
It's grown up in Vermont.

47
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:40,870
And I got nervous lessons.

48
00:03:41,070 --> 00:03:42,590
It was kind of a no-thing to grip.

49
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:45,610
All dirt roads are 35.

50
00:03:46,570 --> 00:03:48,330
And this 40 thing is crept up.

51
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:50,890
I know they're not dirt anymore.

52
00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:53,330
But they're the same roads that work, right?

53
00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:58,170
And the same people are still walking back then

54
00:03:58,170 --> 00:03:58,970
as they are now.

55
00:04:00,450 --> 00:04:01,990
So yeah, I agree with David.

56
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:12,470
I mean, it really should start more than the 200 feet in town, because, you know, you

57
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:12,790
see.

58
00:04:13,390 --> 00:04:13,610
Yeah.

59
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,960
I mean, we're not qualified to, you know, we can make suggestions until we turn you

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,240
over.

61
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,820
These guys are the experts.

62
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,800
They can love maybe narrow the road, maybe put some, we can talk on and on about some

63
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,420
certain kind of violence and just something. Let's see what they actually said. I mean, maybe they're really

64
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:42,360
just, I mean, you're not going to change your nature to people, certain people are going to drive,

65
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:50,880
like they drive that out, or they're not going to be able to stop it. At least if you can get a percentage of the people to slow down.

66
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:59,240
Yeah, I'm not sure where the speed bumps went and why they're not being used because I felt like they really made a difference.

67
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920
I don't know why we never put them up this year. I think there was some discussion that

68
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,040
they've been flattened, but they still exist in some way, shape or form.

69
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,160
I don't know why we didn't put the flat ones out because even the flat ones are more

70
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:38,000
I don't know that anyone ever complained about them. I know it was said at some point in time that they

71
00:05:38,660 --> 00:05:44,920
were flatter than they started their life, but I feel like they still had some help.

72
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:52,800
a way I was taking down the winter to plow, but yeah, so I think guys what what we said before

73
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,840
and I want to reiterate again like we've had some concerned people come in. This is not something

74
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:07,020
that I think the select board is going to do by ourselves. We want to see a group of citizens get

75
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:14,700
together brainstorm you know call it a committee right a committee of citizens come together with some

76
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:21,400
sort of consensus recommendation, the select board can approve the expenditure to engage

77
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,700
that engineering firm again. And I feel like we had a really nice big meeting with lots

78
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:31,120
of people over here, where we do feel like we have some experts on our side who have put

79
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:38,920
some time into the initial preliminary analysis. As a select board, I think I can speak for

80
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,980
to say that we're happy to devote some funds toward that.

81
00:06:43,540 --> 00:06:46,880
And we'd love to see that directive sort of spearheaded

82
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,480
by the three of you and Heather and Heather and kind

83
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,040
of some directive in terms of let's talk to the people.

84
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,100
And I appreciate your holistic approach, right?

85
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:05,260
Because I think that's where it's like we see this as a,

86
00:07:10,190 --> 00:07:14,430
I see this as a, I've heard lots of people come in here and talk about their issues.

87
00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:19,210
And David, it's okay to be selfish and want your issue solved.

88
00:07:19,830 --> 00:07:20,610
No one's going to come in.

89
00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:22,170
That's just human nature, right?

90
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:23,470
You want your issue solved.

91
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:24,590
You want your issue solved.

92
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:25,830
Heather wants her issue solved.

93
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:27,930
You know, the boo bars want their issue solved.

94
00:07:28,030 --> 00:07:31,470
We've heard from all these people, like let's get some of those people together.

95
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:38,450
Let's pay the outfit to do a holistic sort of, here are these suggestions.

96
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:41,910
you know, and then we can look into how much does that cost?

97
00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:44,930
What kind of money do we as a town have to put toward it?

98
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:47,530
What potential grants are there available?

99
00:07:51,610 --> 00:07:52,830
Study in the map.

100
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,270
As far as I know, and you can interrupt me,

101
00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:58,670
but as far as I know, the only study that was done

102
00:07:58,670 --> 00:08:04,310
was a possible redoing of that term there, by the direction.

103
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:08,990
So they did, so we had, there's issues here,

104
00:08:08,990 --> 00:08:13,050
there's issue, and I think I'm assuming when you brought up Boobar, it was probably an

105
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:20,430
issue on Lubbers Lane. There's lots of issues. Yeah. And all they talked about was the point

106
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:25,850
of the green and cutting that out and changing the direction of it. And then Heather has all,

107
00:08:25,930 --> 00:08:30,270
and I don't think the study did this, but Heather also brought up the fact of not having

108
00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:37,670
two entrances into North America, by the fire station. But that doesn't solve this problem.

109
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:50,300
And I think to be candid, you know, there was, you know, the town spent some money, we got a report done by that firm.

110
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:52,360
It was one idea.

111
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:02,180
I think it was generally met with a lukewarm or varied reception. Some people liked it, some people didn't.

112
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:07,620
Some people thought, like David just said, well, it's going to maybe solve a problem for a few feet here.

113
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:19,580
But I think that's what it's really lacking is, let's look at our issues and let's put together a plan that could potentially address as many of them as possible.

114
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:27,920
And then, you know, is that the town has the resources to tackle a few of them?

115
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:36,680
We could tackle a few of them right away where we have to apply for some grants or we have to, you know, one of the things that I thought was interesting that they said,

116
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:43,380
which you know as roads get wider people drive faster. So one of the things that we as a town

117
00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:48,280
have probably not been cognizant of over the past years and years is allowing these roads when

118
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,000
they get repaid to get a little bit wider and get a little bit wider and get a little bit wider.

119
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:59,420
You know that's something that needs to be top of mind as we you know do some of this work like

120
00:09:59,420 --> 00:10:04,500
no the narrower the road the closer the trees are to the side just people

121
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,840
That's leading into human nature, right? That's the idea of like you're not going to change

122
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:20,320
human nature, but if human nature is drive slower on narrower roads that have trees closer

123
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,860
to them.

124
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,360
I mean, it would be nice if it could resolve it and not have to aesthetically change the

125
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,800
whole traffic matter of the town.

126
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:40,920
I know I can't admit. Another thing is the construction traffic. There was a lot of construction traffic. I don't know about this summer was a particular busy summer, but there were lots of big trucks.

127
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:48,940
dump trucks pulling trailers with graveyards on them and they never could get around, could

128
00:10:48,940 --> 00:10:50,840
get some village as there's a turn there.

129
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,600
They can, I've seen them, they're huge and there's a lot of them, so that's a consideration

130
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,260
of how to take them in line.

131
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:04,820
People drive really, really fast, not coming into the village, past our houses.

132
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:06,800
It's crazy.

133
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:09,880
It's not people that don't know where they're going.

134
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,380
Well, it's not people that don't know those people, it's just that.

135
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:21,760
Well, I think what we're waiting for is for a group of people to, and Heather,

136
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,600
I thought when she left here was ready to work on that.

137
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:35,520
Yeah, I guess from my standpoint, like, you know, like, you're free to form a committee.

138
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,040
We love to see a committee formed. I'd love to be a part of that.

139
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,260
that, you know, or we may be, we may be a part of that, but let's get some info from

140
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:49,920
those folks and let's get kind of a, you know, what we want to take to the engineering

141
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,360
firm would be, here's, you know, here's kind of our, our list of our issues, yeah, and

142
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,560
say we want you to take a look at Lovers Lane, because we know that's a problem, it's a major

143
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:04,420
cut through, it's not just Benem who came in, their neighbors came in, and we all know that

144
00:12:04,420 --> 00:12:05,340
that can be an issue.

145
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:07,820
And let's take a look at this whole corridor.

146
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:14,320
And we know potters and you know, like let's give them

147
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,660
that directive that we really need to look at all of that.

148
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,420
Well, why don't you put it on the agenda

149
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:28,500
for the next record meeting that citizens are invited to come

150
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:35,100
I'm in the meeting in the form of committee to deal and we need to deal with the traffic.

151
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,840
I mean, I'd like to see.

152
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,840
And then maybe have the study done, and then you can have public automated form of committee then.

153
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:50,460
I don't know how to go about through it.

154
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:58,780
I have to be more than that, letters sent out to all attacks there, setting up on the

155
00:12:58,780 --> 00:12:58,900
evening.

156
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:00,660
Yeah, I don't think so.

157
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,200
I think at this juncture we just need a couple of people to get together.

158
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,420
It's not for the post-popism.

159
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:10,660
I mean, to be great, you know, myself, I've never really looked at your gender every week.

160
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,680
I think if you, like literally if you guys would talk to a few people and you come in next meeting with a bullet point list,

161
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:24,360
that's kind of working toward what we need to engage with them, you know. Where did you leave it?

162
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:33,030
It wouldn't be. So they they were paid for that study. So I think this is true. I'm telling you what

163
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:38,010
I think I know. They were paid for that study at least a couple of years ago. Sometime after COVID and

164
00:13:38,010 --> 00:13:45,010
before I got on the selected. Yeah. So they were paid in full for that report that they put together.

165
00:13:45,010 --> 00:13:51,030
Andy asked them to come back. They put together a 30-45-minute presentation where they talked

166
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:57,750
about some of their experiences calming in other towns and other cities, towns. And they

167
00:13:57,750 --> 00:14:03,810
also talked very briefly about that plan that they put together. And it got a lot of really

168
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:11,510
good ideas spurred. There were 30 people in the room. Yeah, I mean 30.

169
00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:18,690
Critical

170
00:14:18,690 --> 00:14:37,410
mass. Yeah, it was right before the July or August. It was right before the July or August

171
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:45,930
agenda for next. Does somebody take attendance? Is that meeting by the chance? Do we know who is there? I don't know about an active name.

172
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:57,430
20. Plus. I'm actually curious how Lucas was there. And how did those people know that we were having that?

173
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:58,770
So, what are the people?

174
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:12,210
I think we just posted notice. We said, you know, hey, five or whatever. 20 people showed up for that meeting. That was on a posting, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

175
00:15:13,630 --> 00:15:24,460
Three tonight. Let me put something together of that sort that, like, we want to, like, let's not lose them. I think we really got a roll text.

176
00:15:32,830 --> 00:15:37,070
It would be the first Wednesday of the month.

177
00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:46,830
It could be as simple as if we got some people there.

178
00:15:47,450 --> 00:15:49,210
We'll adjourn our Slack board meeting.

179
00:15:49,770 --> 00:15:53,090
We can also hear and talk for a few minutes about some ideas

180
00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:56,810
and just kind of start to formulate that.

181
00:15:56,990 --> 00:15:59,990
Maybe it's okay, I'm gonna call the boo bars

182
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:00,990
and get their concerns

183
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:03,050
and then they're gonna outline her concerns

184
00:16:03,050 --> 00:16:05,410
and Potter can, you know,

185
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:06,810
outline his concerns.

186
00:16:06,810 --> 00:16:07,930
It'll be eight pages long.

187
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:09,730
And, you know, yeah,

188
00:16:14,830 --> 00:16:15,690
I will say again,

189
00:16:15,810 --> 00:16:20,010
like, I felt like that group that did that study,

190
00:16:20,590 --> 00:16:21,690
they have some knowledge.

191
00:16:21,970 --> 00:16:24,090
Could we have that study out that night?

192
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:28,570
not to go back to that, but then just to start conversation.

193
00:16:28,810 --> 00:16:31,030
Yeah, did Andy send that to you?

194
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:31,290
No.

195
00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:35,430
I'm going to send you a little bit of a blueprint.

196
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:37,650
Once upon a time, there was a...

197
00:16:37,650 --> 00:16:40,470
I remember seeing a blueprint on it.

198
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:41,530
And I was going to die.

199
00:16:42,190 --> 00:16:43,150
But that was...

200
00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:45,390
The mudders were all mudders too, but...

201
00:16:45,390 --> 00:16:45,590
Yeah.

202
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:46,410
Did it?

203
00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:48,670
But he told you then that when I came in,

204
00:16:48,730 --> 00:16:50,050
he said he'd send it to me.

205
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:51,210
Yeah, because we...

206
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:31,730
So this is, yeah, this was the one that they, and this was dated 20, 23, so there you go,

207
00:17:31,870 --> 00:17:32,550
three years ago.

208
00:17:33,850 --> 00:17:34,890
That's it, that's it.

209
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:44,760
But, you know, MSK engineers and the other person that's from the

210
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,860
calming authority or something?

211
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,960
I don't know.

212
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,020
Yeah, so there were two people with the event. One of them was one of the engineers.

213
00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:01,460
And one of them was some state or county whose specialty is in traffic calming.

214
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:07,660
And he had a couple of slides that he presented about a project in Bennington.

215
00:18:27,260 --> 00:18:31,820
And I believe, and I don't want to speak out of the term, but I think the gentleman who

216
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:38,780
is on the staff at home and community or whatever, he's also a bit of a gateway toward

217
00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:41,260
some potential funding as well.

218
00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:46,860
So basically, if we engage him and get his help and it's kind of approved by them, he'd be

219
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:55,280
in better chances of obtaining some funding or help toward that project.

220
00:18:55,700 --> 00:19:00,460
If we just call the state up and say, hey, we want to do this, we're going to say, okay,

221
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,000
well, ask your taxpayers.

222
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:11,120
And I feel like, I know he mentioned right, that project got a fair bit of state funding.

223
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,960
The town had their, Bennington had to kick in a couple bucks,

224
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,220
but then they got a grant towards.

225
00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:20,380
Do you have any idea how much the speed comes across $1

226
00:19:22,690 --> 00:19:23,450
,000?

227
00:19:24,190 --> 00:19:26,170
I don't think that's a rubber, you know?

228
00:19:27,150 --> 00:19:27,410
I know.

229
00:19:27,610 --> 00:19:28,790
First they're tired, I don't know.

230
00:19:28,810 --> 00:19:29,630
Christopher Trolley?

231
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560
You know, over just over the years, I was going to talk about,

232
00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:41,380
do we put a couple of those flashing speed signs,

233
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,120
or do you bring something like that in?

234
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:45,800
And you know, there's lots of stuff we can do.

235
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:55,580
And frankly, I feel like no action has been taken because it ends up being just one person's opinion.

236
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:59,220
Why'd I like to see this? Well, I don't think this will work. Okay, well now we're not going to do that.

237
00:19:59,980 --> 00:20:08,120
And I think that's what an engineering firm and someone who is on their job is literally to study traffic calming.

238
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:22,390
Maybe not just this section of the village, but take it from Greenland to half the pond.

239
00:20:22,750 --> 00:20:22,810
Right.

240
00:20:23,030 --> 00:20:26,150
I mean, because that's a size of a big truck.

241
00:20:26,590 --> 00:20:26,710
Yeah.

242
00:20:27,330 --> 00:20:28,050
That's all the time.

243
00:20:28,910 --> 00:20:29,770
Or even in winter.

244
00:20:30,450 --> 00:20:30,950
A lot of things.

245
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,160
That's how good.

246
00:20:36,420 --> 00:20:41,520
And we have someone has this gentleman's name of contact information.

247
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:42,120
Yes.

248
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:47,290
Conning guy.

249
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:47,670
Yes.

250
00:20:47,950 --> 00:20:48,330
Yeah.

251
00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:53,410
Andy had the most relation with him or the most communication with him.

252
00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:54,910
I once said they also did.

253
00:20:55,050 --> 00:21:00,170
Didn't they have some of those like traffic counters and whatever in place?

254
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:00,690
They did.

255
00:21:00,890 --> 00:21:01,290
At the point.

256
00:21:02,030 --> 00:21:02,170
Yeah.

257
00:21:02,170 --> 00:21:02,250
Yeah.

258
00:21:03,010 --> 00:21:05,930
So again, are you saying that this particular representative

259
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:08,190
in this group would be at the October meeting?

260
00:21:09,390 --> 00:21:10,330
No, I don't know.

261
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:11,430
They're not going to need it, though.

262
00:21:12,690 --> 00:21:14,430
We would re-engage.

263
00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:15,370
We are happy.

264
00:21:15,670 --> 00:21:18,390
We as a town will be happy to re-engage with them.

265
00:21:18,490 --> 00:21:19,190
If the committee.

266
00:21:19,670 --> 00:21:23,450
If the committee, we want a committee to give some consideration

267
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:27,330
and thoughts and have something to give to them and say,

268
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:30,750
this is what we want you to consider and look at.

269
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:35,090
they could basically then give us a proposal and say I'm making this up you know

270
00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:42,810
it's 10 grand to do a study from there to there to there we'll present you a

271
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:47,210
drawing or two we'll present you a summary of recommendations and then we can

272
00:21:47,210 --> 00:21:52,010
make sure that makes sense and then we can approve it we as a select ward can

273
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:59,410
approve that expenditure that we're gonna give MSK X dollars and here's what

274
00:21:59,410 --> 00:22:03,930
they're going to present to us. And then we'll have something that, you know, that's really,

275
00:22:05,230 --> 00:22:09,890
in my opinion, that's the key to getting something done. They would return to us a deliverable

276
00:22:09,890 --> 00:22:18,750
that is done by an engineer, oversawed by a traffic calming specialist, a presentation of,

277
00:22:18,930 --> 00:22:24,050
here's a suggestion, right? Here's, I mean, there's multiple options. One next, you know,

278
00:22:24,050 --> 00:22:25,790
This is small, medium, large.

279
00:22:26,090 --> 00:22:26,270
Yeah.

280
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:27,990
Yeah.

281
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:33,920
For a service, they must have some idea

282
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,760
what's the traffic is that happened for a seller.

283
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:37,260
Right.

284
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:38,660
I mean, good wild means.

285
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:41,100
I'm sure they could tell you how many visits they have

286
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:42,620
in the winter.

287
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:43,940
No, they did have a counter-record.

288
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,100
Yeah, a counter.

289
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,520
Yeah.

290
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:47,500
I don't know.

291
00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:48,840
It's, you know, so hard to remember.

292
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,020
Was that two years ago or eight years ago?

293
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Yeah, exactly.

294
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,300
But they did have a counter-record.

295
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,480
You just stand out there one day and just keep stepping on it.

296
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,420
It's it on my porch.

297
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,680
All right, well good.

298
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,000
Let's keep the ball rolling and try and...

299
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,420
Put a gate.

300
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,280
Try and get somewhere with that.

301
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,380
A gate, there you go.

302
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:15,180
Goes up and down.

303
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:16,560
One car goes through.

304
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:17,740
Right.

305
00:23:22,430 --> 00:23:26,010
How about a tunnel from Route 11 to Aptiphone?

306
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:28,930
Yeah, just by past a whole time.

307
00:23:29,790 --> 00:23:31,070
300 trillion dollars.

308
00:23:34,570 --> 00:23:38,370
We'll name it the University if you finance it.

309
00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:41,110
Actually, whatever you want, you finance it.

310
00:23:41,610 --> 00:23:41,910
Okay.

311
00:23:42,150 --> 00:23:43,970
You could put the power line in your money, right?

312
00:23:44,350 --> 00:23:45,090
There we go.

313
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:54,890
I'll text some people and see if they come.

314
00:23:55,050 --> 00:23:58,030
Adrian sets us this long.

315
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:01,550
She could come to the meeting.

316
00:24:02,370 --> 00:24:02,970
Who's this?

317
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:05,210
Yeah.

318
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:09,130
They're registered until the meeting.

319
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:14,220
Yeah.

320
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,860
I mean, I think the people that have come to the meeting

321
00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:23,900
I mean, potter and it's just a bar maybe, you know, put it on the agenda and say that this is your opportunity.

322
00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:25,580
Get Heather to come back.

323
00:24:27,460 --> 00:24:33,840
And would it come down to a post at 10 meeting for the, for this to proceed?

324
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:40,000
I don't understand where it goes, where, where the final will go ahead.

325
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:43,420
I mean, if there's a proposal that has to get approved.

326
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:51,270
I don't know that answer, but I, you know, there's,

327
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:53,090
It depends on the cost, right?

328
00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:57,390
So if we said today, let's go spend a couple of grand

329
00:24:57,390 --> 00:24:59,810
and put some signs up, we could approve that tonight.

330
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:01,650
And you could buy some signs.

331
00:25:02,930 --> 00:25:05,750
I would think it would be prudent upon the select board

332
00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:09,330
if this is a major expenditure to have some type of, you know.

333
00:25:09,790 --> 00:25:11,250
Feed that, like, yeah.

334
00:25:11,670 --> 00:25:14,830
Yeah, like we wouldn't just, you know.

335
00:25:14,830 --> 00:25:22,630
care and say something about, for her time as a trader, it was a certain amount of money

336
00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:26,390
in the town, has to get alone and it has to be approved by a town meeting.

337
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:33,140
But that means I don't know if that's true, that's just...

338
00:25:33,140 --> 00:25:36,960
I think we're a long way away from getting to spending a lot of money.

339
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:37,280
Exactly.

340
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:44,320
I mean, I think, yeah, right now we're not even past the first step, so.

341
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,540
Yeah, but I think that's a reasonable goal, right?

342
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:48,520
If town meaning is in the spring, right?

343
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,640
Do we have something back from then?

344
00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:55,020
Do we have some ballpark numbers?

345
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,360
Do we have some, you know, like that's six months from now?

346
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,680
Plus, that's enough time that we could put that on a town

347
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,720
mean agenda, say there's the town elect to spend,

348
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:10,580
I'm just making us up, you know, a hundred grand

349
00:26:10,580 --> 00:26:13,320
with the hopes of getting a $200,000 grant

350
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,880
to enact as much of this plan as we can.

351
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:24,360
You know, that would be a ultimate sort of action item on it.

352
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:33,890
Or, you know, it could be as simple as the project by Heather's house is, you know,

353
00:26:34,170 --> 00:26:36,250
20 grand because the road already exists.

354
00:26:36,270 --> 00:26:40,750
We're just closing off a road and it's a couple days worth of time with an excavator.

355
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:46,050
you know maybe that's done right away with our own funds or maybe we buy a couple

356
00:26:46,050 --> 00:26:48,330
humps and put them I don't know right

357
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,660
okay

358
00:26:59,350 --> 00:27:04,130
any other comments okay thank you

359
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,760
leaving us okay do

360
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:14,280
you want to take this we have extra copies of this if you want to put

361
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:20,100
in your okay sure okay great you

362
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:27,150
probably liked it better when you're you

363
00:27:27,150 --> 00:27:30,950
you're up a driveway and put on a door or the action is now.

364
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:31,690
Yeah.

365
00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:34,390
No, I love where we are.

366
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:34,690
Yeah.

367
00:27:36,010 --> 00:27:39,470
You realize how many people walk on there.

368
00:27:39,690 --> 00:27:39,950
Oh, yeah.

369
00:27:40,010 --> 00:27:46,490
If I look for my porch towards David's, I can't see, but the curves right there, and you see

370
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:48,670
people's friend one for the ditch, you know?

371
00:27:49,390 --> 00:27:54,830
That seems to be where, you know, they're not bad going by our porch, but then all of a sudden

372
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:56,350
or be out of the way around.

373
00:27:56,930 --> 00:27:58,790
They come through there, like you, you know.

374
00:27:59,410 --> 00:28:00,470
And then the car's old.

375
00:28:00,630 --> 00:28:01,770
This is particularly bad.

376
00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:03,210
And this must be bad.

377
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:09,090
So like I said, I mean, maybe my speed went through

378
00:28:09,090 --> 00:28:10,150
something out further.

379
00:28:11,670 --> 00:28:16,490
Gates, arms, I don't see the floor,

380
00:28:16,790 --> 00:28:19,930
they have a series of them by toes that drop off

381
00:28:19,930 --> 00:28:22,750
which also give pedestrian walk there.

382
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:24,670
They don't have to worry about planning.

383
00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:26,250
Yeah.

384
00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:29,130
But it's fair enough.

385
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:32,330
We're going to send a couple people that are doing them.

386
00:28:32,550 --> 00:28:35,350
I watch the license plates because I'm really concerned with the summer.

387
00:28:35,490 --> 00:28:36,870
Who exactly is doing this?

388
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:37,930
And it's way more.

389
00:28:38,490 --> 00:28:40,690
But I would say that there's no loss.

390
00:28:41,330 --> 00:28:41,510
Right.

391
00:28:41,630 --> 00:28:43,490
They usually turn around and around since anyway.

392
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:43,850
So.

393
00:28:46,590 --> 00:28:47,550
Thank you.

394
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:48,910
Thanks guys.

395
00:28:49,050 --> 00:28:49,530
Thanks for coming.

396
00:28:49,870 --> 00:28:50,710
Appreciate it.

397
00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:54,140
Thanks.

398
00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:57,080
By the way, town network service is crowded by so many.

399
00:28:58,260 --> 00:28:59,340
I didn't see that

400
00:29:02,030 --> 00:29:03,070
in there.

401
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,300
Thought we reviewed it already.

402
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:46,340
Why is he calling?
