Council adopted a formal Traffic Calming and Safety Policy developed in the public health and safety committee and reviewed by Montgomery County Planning Commission, the borough engineer and the fire company. The policy creates a transparent intake and review process: petitions or staff-identified issues are submitted via the boroughs myGov portal, staff performs an internal review and collects data, the public health and safety committee engages the public and makes recommendations, and full council retains final approval authority.

The policy lists possible interventions (visual/physical measures such as curb extensions, speed humps, pavement texture changes and striping), splits measures into low-, medium- and capital-cost categories and establishes eligibility standards (for example, requests initiated by at least three households, a business owner group or an institutional representative). Staff noted some low-cost measures may be implemented in months while larger projects requiring engineering or roadwork could take longer and be aligned with paving schedules. Council members emphasized the policys low barrier to entry while retaining professional review and public input.

The policy passed unanimously. Council directed staff to publish the new web page, intake petition template and posted traffic data for community review.
