The Lyman Select Board held a public hearing on September 8, 2026, regarding whether to discontinue Peach Orchard Road, also known as Schoolhouse Road. A property representative requested continued access to the road and adjoining land, including approximately 600 feet beyond the school’s paved access, and said the family was willing to maintain that section. Other comments described the road’s recreational and historic use, access to three cemeteries, and concerns about emergency response if access were blocked. A resident also cited problems with unauthorized traffic, fires, and trespassing when the road was open. The discussion focused on the road’s legal status, property boundaries, historical town maintenance, and whether to retain a public easement, including how any easement might affect school safety and access.

The board unanimously voted by roll call to table the matter pending further information, including more precise identification of the relevant property boundaries and additional review of the road’s status and applicable legal issues. No contract, purchasing, budget, or other procurement activity was identified.
