Select Board Meeting - June 22, 2026

The Arlington Select Board meeting on June 22, 2026, covered a range of community and municipal topics, including proclamations, appointments, and public infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the Stratton Safe Routes to School Project, where the board conditionally approved retaining a London plane tree at 54 Hemlock Street, contingent on the Arlington Tree Warden's assessment of the tree's health during construction. The board emphasized compliance with ADA sidewalk standards despite the tree's presence. Additionally, a presentation on expanding parking benefit districts to Arlington Heights and East Arlington was given, highlighting potential revenue forecasts, parking utilization data, and proposed district improvements funded by parking meter revenues. The board also approved traffic safety improvements at the Wallaston and Appleton intersection, including new stop signs to address frequent near-misses and crashes. These actions reflect ongoing capital improvement and public safety efforts with associated contracting and budget considerations. No new contracts or RFPs were directly awarded during the meeting, but several policy and project updates were discussed that could influence future procurement activities.
