WILMINGTON — The town recently received a $215,600 Bike/Pedestrian Grant from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) for redesign of the streetscape on the east and west sides of North Main Street.
A public meeting is planned for Tuesday, Dec. 14, at 5:30 p.m., at the Town Office Meeting Room and via Zoom at us02web.zoom.us/j/87304841725. The meeting ID number is 873 0484 1725.
According to town economic development consultant Gretchen Haverluk, the project spans from the intersection at the center of town to the Baptist Church stairs for the west side, and center intersection to Lisle Hill Road on the east side.
Depending on state permitting, construction will take place in the spring of 2022.
The project includes replacement of concrete sidewalks, granite curbing, light posts, a new crosswalk, and widening in some areas.
The town has hired Dufresne Group to design, assist with permitting and assist with construction of the project.
A local committee includes Sheldon Brassor (highway superintendent), Renee Galle (business owner), Sheila Osler (Wilmington Works Design Committee member), Meg Staloff (Wilmington Works program coordinator), Scott Gurly (AOT project manager), and Havreluk.
