BRATTLEBORO â Phone lines went down and mislabeled garbage bags went out, causing some frustration around town.
When postcards about absentee ballots for the March 2 election started going out last week, the townâs phone lines stopped working for about two days due to an issue within the system that affected other groups as well. The stateâs online My Voter Page also wasnât working around the same time.
âThe card is encouraging people to either call the town clerkâs office or go to MyVoterPage and people were striking out in both efforts through no fault of their own,â Town Manager Peter Elwell said at the Select Board meeting held remotely Tuesday. âThere was a lot of frustration around that understandably.â

BRATTLEBORO â Lynde Place could soon be the name of a portion of Elm Street that forks off to Flat Street.
âStanley Lynde was a well-known resident who owned a motorcycle shop at the base of where this road segment meets Flat Street,â states a memo from town staff proposing the name.
The Select Board will consider the name change and other agenda items at its meeting held remotely Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. A state official known as the E911 coordinator, the townâs fire chief and dispatch supervisor recommended renaming the road to Lynde Place.
