Cheatham County defers photo speed enforcement program to gather more traffic data
Summary
After public comment and a reported speed study at Cheatham Middle School, commissioners voted to defer consideration of a Photo Speed Enforcement Program indefinitely to allow staff to gather additional traffic study information.
The Cheatham County Legislative Body voted on April 17 to defer indefinitely further action on a proposed Photo Speed Enforcement Program, giving staff and commissioners additional time to gather and review traffic studies.
During the public forum Lewis Morales (District 2) spoke in favor of the program and also asked how volunteers who helped during the March 3 wind event would be thanked. Commissioners later discussed a local speed study near Cheatham Middle School. Commissioner Chris Gilmore moved to defer the program indefinitely; the motion, seconded by Calton Blacker, passed by voice vote and was recorded as Resolution 17.
The minutes record the deferral without a timetable for returning the item to the agenda and direct staff to gather more data on traffic engineering and implementation details. The recorded action places the emphasis on additional study before any vendor selection or program design proceeds.
Next steps: county staff will gather the additional traffic studies and information requested by commissioners; the commission may revisit the program at a future meeting when more data is available.
