Resident raises speeding concerns on Marcellus; village outlines short‑ and long‑term traffic‑calming steps
Steve Kaufmann, a resident of 465 Marcellus, told the Board of Trustees he continues to see cars run the stop sign and speed on Marcellus and asked whether the village would consider speed bumps, speed‑limit signs and "children at play" warnings.

"I'd like to know, about your further discussions, perhaps, on speed bumps or other measures," Kaufmann said during public comment.

Mayor Pereira responded that village engineers are reviewing all village streets and will return recommendations for traffic‑calming where appropriate. In the short term, she said, the village would deploy a portable radar speed sign (one of two currently in use) and ask the police department to increase enforcement in the area.

"We will take the measures that we can take right now until we can find a more permanent and lasting solution that is safe, makes sense, is appropriate," Mayor Pereira said, noting one short‑term device is battery powered and will be made operational when batteries are replaced.

Mayor Pereira said the village engineers, identified as D and B in the meeting, will evaluate where speed tables, humps, markings or other measures would fit and that temporary rubber units that can be removed for winter plowing are another option the village is considering.

Kaufmann also suggested collecting traffic and speed data using recorder devices; village officials said traffic studies are costly and the village seeks to “piggyback” on studies performed for developers or other projects where possible, but they did not rule out data collection where warranted.

The board did not take a formal binding action on the street; officials described pending evaluations and short‑term deployments and said they would follow up with the resident.
