Fairfield Traffic Authority approves 25 mph speed-limit signs with delineators for Tanglewood at Burr/Townhouse
Summary
The authority approved installing 25 mph speed-limit signs, in both directions, at an appropriate location on Townhouse Road/Burr Street (Tanglewood) with white post delineators; engineering will determine exact placement.
The Fairfield Traffic Authority on April 17 approved a motion to install 25 mph speed-limit signage at the Townhouse Road/Burr Street entry in the Tanglewood neighborhood, with white-post delineators on both sides to improve visibility.
A resident, identified in the record as Doreen K. Bagmili, requested a speed limit sign at Burr Street. Engineering staff reviewed the site and confirmed the town's inventory lists the streets as 25 mph; staff recommended erecting a sign in both directions and adding white post delineators to improve visibility. The authority approved the motion, with placement to be determined by engineering.
Board members discussed implementation details, including whether delineators should be a standard town specification and the approximate additional cost. Staff said the counts and speed evaluations follow the town's contract process and Connecticut DOT practices and that temporary data collection uses 48-hour counts. A board member noted the incremental cost for a reflective post is likely closer to $50 than $500, but the exact figure was not finalized.
The motion passed with the committee recording the result as 7-0 in the transcript. Engineering will identify the exact sign locations and add the delineators as part of the work order.
