Hey everyone! Our regular meeting last week was replaced with a joint planning meeting at the Underhill Town Hall with the Selectboards and Planning Commissions of both Jericho and Underhill. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss plans for the Riverside Flats area, and to coordinate our efforts with the hopes of developing the area in a cohesive way.

One interesting thing that occurred at the meeting: David Villeneuve produced drawings for a proposed to change for Dickinson Street. Apparenetly, VTrans has given the intersection between Steam Mill Road (Pleasant Valley Rd. - going past BRMS) an 'F' for traffic and this has stimied development plans on Villeneuve's commercial property. The proposal involves revamping Dickinson Street for 2-way traffic, thus lessening the load on the intersection between Steam Mill Rd. and Rte 15 (across from Jolley's), and would cost the town more than $200,000. Since this is not in our town budget, Villeneuve proposed doing a large portion of the work himself, saving the town some $100,000. The Selectboard will hear Mr. Villeneuve's request at a public meeting soon - I'll keep you posted.
Here are the (DRAFT!) minutes from the meeting. In this case, the minutes explain the meeting better than I can.
