Egremont voters defeated a proposal to acquire a new right of way along Blunt Road to straighten a sharp curve. The measure required a two thirds vote and 33 ballots, but passed 30 to 20. Local landowners objected to abandonment of the old road, fearing landlocking and devaluation. The town may revisit the issue at a special meeting along with the abandonment article. Additionally the town allocated 200 for surveying costs and 325 for a local student’s vocational schooling.
