Finally, concerns were raised during the meeting about whether meeting notices are actually reaching the public.

Longer-form draft.
At the December 4 Highway Safety Committee meeting, several significant decisions and discussions took place that residents should be aware of—some of which were not even listed on the public agenda. Most notably, the committee discussed the implementation of new 'construction impact fees' for heavy vehicles to offset road damage caused by development. Because this was not on the official agenda, residents were denied the opportunity to prepare for or participate in a discussion that could impact local development costs and property values. The committee also moved toward a formal proposal for a four-way stop at the intersection of Nutting Road and Bradford Road. During the discussion, a committee member explicitly stated the goal was to "cut the trucks" from that road. This highlights a growing tension between residential safety and the use of our roads by commercial traffic. Finally, the meeting included questions from the public regarding whether meeting notices are being effectively distributed to all residents. As these committees make decisions regarding our infrastructure and finances, transparency and proper notice are essential to ensure the community has a voice. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/highway-safety-committee/2025-12-04/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
