-Tim said he received a letter from Capital District Transportation Committee stating there is some funding available for a rotary on Eastline Rd. by Stewarts on Rt. 67.
-Catharine suggested ‘bring in business owners in that area who are impacted by the traffic, have them write letters of support to DOT for the rotary, telling DOT to do something.’ She also suggests letters of support from the Planning Board. Suggests the town assists with funding because development in that area is stymied until a rotary goes in.
