During a recent government meeting, concerns regarding rising traffic violations, particularly motorcycle and car speeding, were highlighted. A board member reported a significant increase in speeding incidents over the past week, following a notable decline that had been observed since Memorial Day. The member emphasized the need for ongoing traffic enforcement to address the issue, suggesting that without a continuous police presence, alternative measures must be implemented to mitigate the problem.
The discussion pointed out that while speeding tends to decrease during colder months, it remains a concern year-round, especially among inexperienced drivers, including students unfamiliar with the driving conditions in upstate New York. The board member urged for a proactive approach to ensure safety on the roads.
Additionally, Amanda Giannoni, a local resident, took the opportunity to address the board, expressing gratitude for the chance to respond to community concerns raised by her neighbors. The meeting underscored the importance of community engagement and the need for effective traffic management strategies to enhance public safety.
