At least three Island towns will likely be asking voters in the spring what they think about the controversial roundabout, even as town officials said this week not even a lawsuit could stop the project if the state decides to go ahead with it.

Oak Bluffs this week joined the towns of Edgartown and West Tisbury in certifying petitions for a nonbinding referendum about the project on annual election ballots. All three towns would pose the simple question: Should a roundabout be built at the blinker intersection of Edgartown-Vineyard Haven and Barnes Roads?

West Tisbury selectmen rejected a settlement agreement this week and called for a Feb. 1 public hearing for two dogs, who on several occasions got loose and killed chickens and geese.

After losing their motocross track in West Tisbury, the Vineyard dirt bikers may have a new home.

The Martha’s Vineyard Airport commission is considering issuing shared use agreement for a recreational motorcycle riding area at the airport. The two-acre parcel is currently used for staging construction materials and would continue to hold those materials in concert with the track.

The Aquinnah woman who left home during a snowstorm Saturday night to check on a property she caretakes for and never returned likely died on her way back home, state police Sgt. Tom Medeiros said Monday morning.

Authorities believe the victim, Amanda Hutchinson, stopped to do some sewing at a detached garage apartment before she left her home on Evergreen Way to check on a house on Old South Road. Authorities believe Mrs. Hutchinson died of exposure to the cold upon her return home.

A new Tri-Town Ambulance service agreement is now in effect, after Aquinnah selectmen signed off on the agreement this week.

The revised agreement is similar to the original one created in 1976 when the ambulance service was formed to serve the three up-Island towns of Aquinnah, West Tisbury and Chilmark.
