Rob Evans, a resident of 22 Sun Street, told the council he has observed motorcycles and four-wheelers operating recklessly on Second Street and asked the city to take action.

"We're getting a lot of motorcycles that are just flat out running grama up and down that street," Evans said during the citizen comment period, and recounted an incident where vehicles and youth on ATVs moved into the roadway in front of him.

Council members and staff urged residents to contact the police and file incident reports so the department can document patterns and consider increased enforcement. One council member called for a fence committee meeting Sept. 2 and told Evans: "The best thing ... is to call the police and have them file an incident that had occurred because the more attention that we draw to it through the police department, it justifies possibly putting another officer or detective in that area to try to monitor that."

Council members said they have seen an increase in filed reports recently and thanked police and city staff for quick responses in other recent incidents. The council did not take formal legislative action during the meeting but scheduled committee follow-ups and encouraged residents to document incidents with the police.
