Consultant outlines townwide speed-limit study; DOT approval required for changes

Ken Worstell of Creighton Manning told the board the firm completed a preliminary desktop categorization of town roads into contexts likely to be appropriate for 25 mph (residential), 30'35 mph (collectors), and 40+ mph (longer through roads). "Our goal right now is just to look through this list. This is a first, you know, cut of this. It's preliminary," Worstell said, explaining the team will sample representative segments and produce engineering reports that can be submitted to the New York State Department of Transportation for formal review.
