City Council Approves Major Traffic Safety Measures
In a recent government meeting, several key ordinances were discussed and approved, focusing on traffic safety measures and parking regulations in the community.

The ordinance committee presented a favorable report to establish a new bus stop at Chickpeas Street, moving it 400 feet south to enhance accessibility. This motion received unanimous support from council members during the roll call vote.

Additionally, an isolated stop sign was approved for Greenpoint Circle, with councilors agreeing on its necessity to improve traffic flow and safety in the area. The committee also recommended a \"Do Not Block the Box\" ordinance for Grattan Street, aimed at alleviating issues faced by emergency vehicles, particularly fire trucks, when responding to calls.

A series of parking regulations were addressed, including the removal of existing restrictions on Turtle Eye Avenue to allow for updated parking rules. The council also voted to prohibit parking on Empire Street and set a uniform speed limit of 25 miles per hour on Old Field Road to resolve inconsistencies in existing signage.

However, a request for handicapped parking at 202 Meeting House Road was denied based on engineering assessments that deemed it unnecessary. The council also postponed a decision regarding a proposed 25 mph speed limit on New Ludlow Road, pending further review and state approval.

The meeting concluded with the approval of additional isolated stop signs on Telegraph Avenue, reinforcing the council's commitment to enhancing public safety through thoughtful traffic management. All motions passed with strong support, reflecting a collaborative effort to address community concerns effectively.
