Participants debate adding two small lanes near Dean's house; cone option proposed
Summary
Meeting discussion centered on a proposal to add two small lanes near 'Dean's house.' One participant warned the lanes could encourage speeding and called the idea wasteful, while another suggested using tall candlestick cones as a low-cost traffic-calming measure. No formal decision was recorded.
Meeting participants discussed a request to add two small lanes near what was referred to as Dean's house, with differing views on whether the change would improve or worsen safety.
"They want 2 little lanes," said the Chair, introducing the request. Kane responded with caution: "I just think up by Dean's House, how many people are gonna race around that... I just think it'd be a waste." Jerry noted who typically uses the stretch—"vacation rental is ops home and then Dean's"—and suggested a less permanent fix: "Well, maybe do we have just some tall candlestick cones you could just put on each side?" He said cones would give a visual cue to slow drivers.
Speakers also discussed placement questions (references to "by the boiler room") and operational constraints: the Chair said applying asphalt or plow operations would not work in the same way as the proposed change. The transcript records discussion of pros and cons but no formal motion or vote on lanes or on purchasing/installing cones.
Because the transcript excerpt contains only discussion, participants did not record a decision or assign follow-up tasks in this segment. The idea of temporary cones was raised as a potential next step; whether the group will pursue that option is not specified in the excerpt.
