Roads in dire need of repair find the money, but not without some bad news to multi-modal projects. Brattleboro roads suffered, as did so many others in the state, this winter. Deep ruts in town and state highways have cost drivers their car's alignment, flat tires, and time. This will soon be fixed, but not without additional costs. Brattleboro, for one, will no longer receive money for its multi-modal project from the state this year. Although, the federal government will still provide Vermont with money for bike/ped and like projects, the state has redirected its $114,000 multi-modal allotment to the road emergency fix-up fund. The multi-modal project in Brattleboro has already seen a two year delay, and John Leisenring, Brattleboro's finance director, says the project isn't getting any cheaper. [Source: The Reformer]
