Councilman Shulman urges traffic control measures for Featherbed Lane's safety

Traffic safety took center stage at the Clark Council Meeting on April 21, 2025, as residents voiced urgent concerns over speeding and traffic violations on Featherbed Lane. Council member Shulman highlighted the dangers posed by the heavy traffic in the area, particularly near two schools and the Deutsche Club, where a recent serious accident underscored the need for immediate action.

Shulman urged the council to consider implementing traffic control measures, such as speed humps or tables, to enhance safety for students and families navigating the busy streets. He noted that while previous discussions had dismissed these solutions, there are no state or county laws prohibiting their installation on town roads.

The council member called for a comprehensive traffic study to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. He emphasized that other towns successfully manage similar traffic control devices without compromising snow removal or other municipal services.

As the meeting concluded, Shulman expressed hope that the council would take decisive steps to address the community's safety concerns, preventing further accidents and ensuring a safer environment for all residents.
