During a recent government meeting, community members and council members engaged in discussions focused on local safety measures, recreational activities, and environmental initiatives.

Resident Lori Bettinger expressed her gratitude to the council for their service and highlighted ongoing concerns about speeding in residential areas. She advocated for the installation of permanent speed humps on Sansbury Drive, noting that current measures, such as a police presence and signage, have had a positive but limited impact on traffic behavior. Bettinger emphasized the need for sustainable solutions to ensure long-term safety for residents.

Council Vice President Fink encouraged community engagement, particularly among youth, suggesting that the age limit for renting sports equipment be lowered to 16. He also addressed safety concerns regarding local youth activities, referencing incidents of children jumping off a bridge at Fishing Creek and promoting safer alternatives like kayaking.

The council also announced upcoming community events, including a summer night festival and fireworks scheduled for July 3rd, with a rain date set for July 8th. Council members urged residents to participate in these events and to voice their opinions, whether in person or via email, to ensure their concerns are heard.

Additionally, discussions touched on recycling initiatives, with suggestions for better identification of town-owned recycling bins and potential solutions for residents with personal bins. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming full moon, known as the strawberry moon, encouraging residents to enjoy the summer season.
