The state Department of Transportation has finalized a $5.2 million renovation plan for the coastal roadway that runs along the Vineyard Haven waterfront.

The search for a new police chief, laurels for the town shellfish constable and taxi regulations topped a three-hour Tisbury selectmen’s meeting Tuesday.

The chairman of the Tisbury selectmen signed a letter to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) on Tuesday formally withdrawing from the process.

The Tisbury selectmen voted not to support the school building committee in its bid for more time after the failed vote on the new school last week.

James Rogers figured when he retired from the Tisbury fire department, he ought to find a new way to serve the town. Next week, he’s running unopposed for selectman.

Faced with a shortage in the police department, selectmen voted this week to appoint former Chilmark police chief Brian Cioffi as a special officer for the coming summer.
