AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC PROPERTY AND WORKS -- ACQUISITION OF LAND

Summary

The bill allows cities, towns, state agencies and similar entities to label historic or scenic unimproved roads as “special ways,” giving them authority to restrict paving, widening, and new vehicle traffic while permitting limited non‑motorized uses. It also amends the abandonment process, permitting certain municipalities to sell abandoned highways or driftways to adjoining landowners at fair market value. Together, the measures aim to preserve cultural corridors and clarify how unused public roadways can be transferred.
