BENNINGTON â The concept of a peanut-shaped roundabout on Route 67A near the Bennington College entrance was praised by town officials Monday after they received an update from project planners.
âThis is a great proposal,â said Select Board Chairman Donald Campbell, adding that he liked the description from project designers of a âpeanut,â rather than his first thought of a one-cell organism.
The board was shown the $2.6 million state projectâs conceptual design by VTrans project manager Michael LaCroix, Dennis Vertiyev, of the design firm, Green International Affiliates, and others involved in the multi-year initiative to improve the five-way intersection.
