The committee advanced a four-way stop proposal for Nutting/Bradford to the Select Board but tabled formal action to June. Signage costs of $2,600-$7,396 remain unfunded in the highway budget after repeated community requests. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/highway-safety-committee/2026-03-05/

Longer-form draft.

At its March 5 meeting, the Sunapee Highway Safety Committee discussed mud season road postings beginning March 10 and traffic, parking, and sidewalk gaps tied to recent business approvals and voting traffic. Neither topic was listed on the public agenda, leaving residents without advance notice to prepare comments or attend.

On the Nutting/Bradford Road four-way stop, the committee reviewed quotes between $2,600 and $7,396. No funds exist in the current highway budget. Members agreed to prepare a proposal and draft letter for the Select Board but deferred any decision until the June meeting.

Route 11 safety issues, including public reports of near-misses and faded crosswalks, were noted during the Georges Mills audit discussion. The committee referenced ongoing grant work but made no new commitments on speed limits or visibility improvements beyond annual repainting. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/highway-safety-committee/2026-03-05/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
