1. Continue winter maintenance of these 14 miles of private roads; or
2. Discontinue winter maintenance of these 14 miles of private roads; or
3. Provide winter maintenance to all private roads if they meet established Town standards and are converted to public roadways.
4. Implement other options as proposed via public input.

All Colchester residents are encouraged to attend this meeting and offer comments. Comments may also be submitted via U.S. mail to the address above; by email to Dawn. H. Francis, Town Manager, at dfrancis@colchestervt.gov; or leave comments by calling Linda Gustainis at 802-264-5509.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PRIVATE ROADS ISSUE WILL NOT BE ON THE SEPTEMBER 26 SELECTBOARD MEETING AGENDA. THIS SPECIAL MEETING ON 10/2 WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS RAISED TO DATE AND THE PUBLIC TO SHARE THEIR COMMENTS WITH THE SELECTBOARD.
