(a) On recommendation of the planning commission of a municipality, or on the initiative of the legislative body of a municipality, a legislative body may, after one public hearing warned for the purpose, designate or discontinue any town highway or portion of a town highway as a town scenic highway. Such action by the legislative body may be petitioned by the registered voters of the municipality pursuant to the provisions of 24 V.S.A. § 1973.

(b) A town scenic road may be reconstructed or improved in a manner consistent with the standards established by the transportation board, pursuant to 10 V.S.A. § 425. A class 1, 2 or 3 scenic highway shall still be eligible to receive aid pursuant to the provisions of this title.

(c) The legislative body of a municipality may appeal for a variance from standards promulgated by the transportation board. In these appeals, the board's decision shall be final. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
