During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding noise pollution and traffic safety were brought to the forefront by local residents. Robert Coon, a resident of Hudson Avenue, expressed frustration over persistent noise disturbances from vehicles in the area, which he described as a nuisance affecting not only him but also his neighbors. Coon highlighted difficulties in documenting the noise and called for action, urging the council to explore potential changes to local ordinances or codes to address the issue more effectively.
Another resident, Holly Hawes, raised concerns about speeding on local streets, particularly in residential areas where speed limits are often ignored. She suggested that increased visibility of speed limit signs and the installation of speed bumps could help mitigate the problem. Hawes also noted the challenges faced by law enforcement in managing traffic violations, emphasizing the need for additional measures to ensure safety for families in the neighborhood.
The council acknowledged these concerns and committed to discussing potential solutions, including follow-up actions with legal advisors to explore the feasibility of new regulations. The meeting also included the reappointment of Wendy Rhoads to the NAPA Development Corporation, highlighting ongoing community engagement in local governance.
As the meeting progressed, the council expressed gratitude for the residents' input, reinforcing their commitment to addressing community issues effectively.
