Summary
Peter Coughlin of the Maine Department of Transportation presented traffic-calming options to the Castine Selectboard at a Jan. 13 work session; the board heard the presentation but took no formal votes. The discussion will inform future deliberations on local street safety and traffic management.
Peter Coughlin of the Maine Department of Transportation presented traffic-calming options to the Castine Selectboard at a work session on Jan. 13, 2025, at Emerson Hall. The presentation, given to board members and members of the public, reviewed potential measures to improve safety and slow traffic on town streets.
The Selectboard heard the MDOT presentation at the start of the session; the item was listed on the agenda and delivered in person and via the town's livestream. The minutes record that Coughlin "gave presentation on traffic calming" but do not list specific technical proposals, locations, or a formal recommendation in the minutes.
Town Manager Derik Goodine and Selectboard members Roberta Boczkiewicz and Dan Leader attended the presentation. The minutes do not record a board directive or motion following the presentation; instead the item appears to have been an informational briefing to inform subsequent planning or budget conversations.
The board did not vote on any traffic-calming measures at the session. The presentation is expected to inform future steps by the Selectboard and town staff to evaluate traffic changes, potential design options and any required permitting or funding. The Selectboard's next steps or a formal public hearing on specific measures were not specified in the minutes.
